I am trying to take a crash course for Chain Saws. I need to teach my son. Any info is appreciated.

To the inexperienced all chains can look very similar. In reality it can be quite tricky to get the answer to this question. Try looking at http://www.oregonchain.co.uk/ for some help. You can view a comprehensive guide to chainsaw chain at http://www.oregonchain.co.uk/pdfs/MaintManual_English.pdf
This contains everything you're ever likely to need.
Happy cutting!

Take the chain (or saw complete) to your local lawn mower and chainsaw centre. They should be able to supply (and fit, if you want) either a ready made chain or make one up to suit.
