Husqvarna 77 chain for bow bar

[mastermason]

Wondering if anyone knows where I can get a chain for the bow bar on my L77, how many drive links and what length? Thanks

Very cool set up.
Looks to be in real nice condition.
Step 1: Remove chain.
Step 2: Mark a drive link with a paint pen or sharpie.
Step 3: Count the drive links of the existing chain.
Step 4: Measure gauge with callipers or micrometre.
Step 5: Order new chain to those conclusions.

Thanks. I figured I’d get some insight from anyone who might know whether I’m able to buy one as is or have to get one cut for it

Well you need a drive link count to know if it is the same as a premade loop- or if you want to have one made at any saw shop worth a dime.
You will also need to know pitch and gauge.
Or you will need to supply any information regarding the DL count, pitch and gauge that may or may not be on or still legible on your bow bar.
