Oregon 72LG 76LG Stihl 33TS
By: Cut4fun Date: February 28, 2011, 3:25 pm

This is what the chain makers are looking for to make up those
special race chains. Can you guys tell the difference in the
cutter difference from the new Oregon 72 LG.
2 different older LG cutters shown below.
The 76 LG is used just for it's lighter chassis drive links and
tie straps.
Nice Oberg copied 6 sided bevel file.

I've never seen or used any of the 76. It does look like it
would be a little lighter.

Nice little pulpwood chain with a very smooth narrow kerf chisel
cutting action. Sized between a .325 and a full sized 3/8 chain.
First introduced in 1982 and discontinued in the mid 1990s. Too
bad we no longer can get it because for the professional cutter
that size chain on the 50-60cc saws was real nice to have , a
little bigger then the .325 for extra filing life but not as
power robbing as the big 3/8. Less chain derailing on the safety
nose bars too which alot of forestry outfits were forced to use
to cut down on kickback injuries.
Stihl had the same style of chain called the 33-34TS [ Topic
Super .050-.058].
Racers would put a full size chisel 3/8" cutter on the smaller
chassis enabling better chip clearance and flow, plus lightness
with no need to grind down the shot peened surface as done on
the full sized chassis.

I've got a couple loops some place hanging on a nail .Where it
came from I haven't a clue but suspect perhaps on an old
McCulloch I acquired some place .
Now the neat thing about that is the driver length count for
both Mac 16" and Stihl are exactly the same which very seldom
happens .They're usually off by a few drivers one way or the
other to interchange .
A 16" other than .325 is something I seldom use although I've
got plenty of loops for same mostly from Macs .About the only
time being if I attempt to be a racer over the cants which
hasn't been a success story but fun never the less .Since I
managed to get a few Stihl mount 16"s I'll probabley delve into
filing some faster chains .Perhaps saving those few loops of #76
chain for same .

Just sharing the old boxes with the info on the back of the
Oregon 76LG chains. Looks like between the 2 pics of backs you
can read everything.

Kevin I'm confused about the 76-77LP marked on the box when it
should be 76-77LG. I can't remember this chain ever being
called LP. I do remember a few months ago a women from Oregon
sawchain posted on A.S. saying the 76-77LP was discontinued in
1980.
I think she has bad information because I never heard of 76-77
LP chain being discontinued in 1980.
I field tested 73LG and 77LG chain on my Jonsered in 1980-81 for
Oregon which was then introduced in 1982. I have proof here from
a July 1982 Chainsaw Age magazine ad. The bottom left hand
corner of my pic here shows the date and the introduction of the
76LG. Notice they also called it low profile .

I had some super guard 76 they called LP in pics above too.
The end of those boxes were marked 76LG if you look at end.
