    I almost added it to my video: what I do if I can't find an odd link as a starting point (which half the time I just miss it) I pick any drive link and file flat across the top of it, maybe even on both sides of a tooth. Just file a significant mark on a tie strap, and that shiny spot is your...

    Notice the angle of the file I use in relation to every tooth. That's because this way the grooves on the file hit at an angle and cut the metal smoothly like a milling bit. The other way would make the file teeth hit straight on, and it doesn't cut very well or smoothly. The last one seemed...

    And no gearbox or shaft joints to break. Root flares will be harder to cut since you are making a rip cut. I like using these on a 660: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Oregon-Rims-22273-3-8-8-Tooth-std-3-8-8-Chainsaw-Sprockets-Stihl-Husqvarna/112835103448...
