i have only gone through one tank of fuel since i replaced all my chains and pins a nd i have already blown two pins on the centre axle, it is always on the centre axle. Can anyone explain why this one would be busting pins more than any other one its not like i have been riding it hard. 1984 IC 6x6
Check and see if there is much dirt build up in the sprockets,the dirt may be putting extra strain on the chain,make sure the 2 chain links are in the middle and one plate on the outside along with the hair pin on the very outside.
Curtis its the pins holding the sprocket from spinning on the shaft that keep popping.
oh,sorry the key way the the sprocket hooks into?
Are you using roll pins or spiral pins?
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
Joe Camel never does that.

Check the circumfrence of all your tires. if the one on that axle is way bigger it could add extra strain. My old Argo did not discriminate as to which axle it broke pins on

roll pins jim, two per axle
Roll or spring pins will work loose spiral pins are better.
You can also add a thinner roll pin inside the outer roll pin.
Acta non verba
A spiral pin should semi cure the problem. They are there for a reason in that times thinking, there were next to no broken axles back then.

if tire size is what is popping roll pins where should i have the largest tires ? I am asking again because i just blew the center axle pins again.
