Will this chain breaker work?

Will this chain breaker work for the #50 double roller chain on my machine?
It says #25-#60 but it doesn't specify double roller...

That's the type we always use.

Thanks Jim. I had never use that type before or worked with double roller chain before. Found a video of it in action & it looked like it should work so I ordered it along with 40' of chain & a tach/hour meter. Picking up an electric fuel pump at local auto parts store this afternoon. Need to get this beast running! leaving for moose hunting 2 months from tomorrow! Sounds like a long time but it's gonna fly by...

That's like mine also. I prefer to grind the swaged ends of the pins to be removed so I don't have to fight them through the roller. It's not necessary but if a grinder is handy it helps.

Agreed, not needed but pins slide easier, just started this as my pin is wore.

Hi Vance, on the electric fuel pump be sure it is a low pressure pump, 3.5 psi max. You do not need a h.p. pump.
For a handy tool to work on the chains we use an old butter knife with a smooth edge to work the master link clip on and off. Good luck and have fun hunting. RR
