Been trying to see if it can be done cause it's damn near impossible to come across 1/2" chain???

I changed my XP1100 gear drive over to .404. I just got a "pin sprocket" gear from a machine shop in WA state. I don't remember the name off hand. Danz co someting or other. I had to measure the shaft size and key size and they had one in stock to fit. The price they want for the gear is what you pay to have a saw you can use with chain you can find. I beleave there are other chainsaw shops in the PNW that sell these also.
