Questions people ask

What size chain does a Tanaka TCS33EB take?

The Tanaka TCS33EB takes 3/8" LP pitch, .050" gauge chain. Drive links by bar length: 12" bar 45, 14" bar 52, 16" bar 57, 18" bar 62.

How many drive links is a Tanaka TCS33EB chain?

It depends on the bar: 45 on a 12" bar, 52 on a 14" bar, 57 on a 16" bar, 62 on a 18" 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.
