Oregon D72 vs D70 chain

[henrylynn]

My SuperXL 20" bar finally wore out and I still have 2 Oregon D72 chains. The replacement Oregon bar I bought requires D70 chains. 

In comparing the specs of 72 and 70 it looks like the only difference is that the 70 has 2 fewer links. Can I just have 2 links removed from the D72 chains and continue to use them?

Thanks

Yes if you have the proper tools and repair links to shorten them

Thanks a lot!
