Where I live, they have a western supply store. Big one. They sell chain
saws. They sell chain by the foot. They have a breaker there. If it were
mine, I could take it there, and simply pop off four links by punching one
pin. See if there's somewhere like that where you are. Or go to the local
chainsaw place, and they'll do it.
