SODHOG/SUPER-TOOTH CHAIN MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The rakes/chain gauges for any replacement chains for the Sodhog or the
Super-Tooth Sodhog must be ground off before use. The best method would be to
totally assembly the Sodhog, then being careful, grind all the rakes across the
entire Sodhog at one time.
