    I use 49 links + 1 offset link + 1 master link, on my jack shafts = 31.875 inches.
    My MaxIV is a 97.

    Being that #530 atv chain is heavier duty wouldn't you assume that it is a wider chain. Any clearance issues to be concerned about???

    Trans to rear axle: 52 pins
    Rear to center axle: 122 pins
    Center to front axle: 116 pins
    .625" per pin (5/8")
    #50 chain is fine as long as you use HIGH quality chain like Diamond or Tsubaki brand. #530 is usually rated at higher strength, but not always. I'd take quality #50 over cheap #530.
