Questions people ask

What size chain does a McCulloch 5700 take?

The McCulloch 5700 takes 3/8" pitch, .050" gauge chain. Drive links by bar length: 16" bar 60, 18" bar 66, 20" bar 70, 24" bar 81.

How many drive links is a McCulloch 5700 chain?

It depends on the bar: 60 on a 16" bar, 66 on a 18" bar, 70 on a 20" bar, 81 on a 24" bar. The bar length is usually printed near the mount.

Can I use a chain with the same length but different pitch?

No. Pitch and gauge have to match the bar and sprocket, and the drive link count has to match the bar. A chain that is off on any of the three will not fit or run safely.
