I have an old Homelite Super Wiz I need a chain for.The one on it is a 1" pitch but the saw calls for a 1/2 ".I'm not sure how the sizing works but it appears that a 1/2 " won't work.Any help or leeds would be great.
Thanks Bill
 
Homelite should not be a problem. I have a 1130G that has a .404 sprocket. Danzco had the right sprocket. But it did require machining a second keyway, opposite the first.

Take a look at the sprocket. It should probably be held on with a nut and washers. There should be two keyways in the sprocket.

I checked with Danzco and they have 2 sprockets available . A 9 tooth 2.00"OD and a 10 tooth 2.26"OD.The one I have know is 8 tooth roughly 2.32 . I used a feeler gauge on the bar it appears to be .068 . I counted the rivets on the old chain 134 so I guess it's 66.5 "inches?Can anyone help me with deciding which sprocket and what chain? The person I talked to a Danzco said I may need to change the bar.I don't really want to do that if I don't have to.This is a saw I don't plan on using But I do want it to work.
Thanks alot for the help.

Milwaukee, WI craigs list guy listed 1/2 pitch loop for a homelite yesterday, Count the drive links for length. look at drive links and see if you can read the # stampped on them also all the markings on the bar. I just may have some presets and tie straps for 1/2" from bygone days hiding in a drawer around here.
 
If I count the # of drivers on the 1/2" pitch chain,won't the # of drivers on the 404 be different.
The bar I have doesn't have a sprock tip.
What are presets and tie straps?

Thanks Bill
 
Presets= tie strap with rivets, tie strap = the other side these are what are used to connect the ends of a chain together to make a loop.

Thanks Bill
