Questions people ask
What size chain does a Craftsman 98023 take?
The Craftsman 98023 with a 12" bar takes 3/8" LP pitch, .043" gauge chain with 45 drive links (Oregon R45).
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.
