Does any one out there have two 530 O ring half links? I need them to get my chains back on my t-20 with a 12 tooth sproket. If I can't find some 1/2 links I will have to go to a # 50 industrail chain with a half link. Help Please?!!!THX I have found half links all the way to 430 but no 530 o ring!
I don't think anyone makes the half link in 530. You don't have enough adjustment to be able to compensate?
dan get you a piece of 530 chain and cut you a link out . that is what i did to my max II . now i keep a peice of chain with me in it . robbie ..Originally Posted by mightymaxIV

Stock chain length-adjustment sproket is into the drive sproket, one link out (really two) 1/8th inch to short. It should be noted that i moved from a 16 tooth sproket to a 12 tooth sproket on the t-20. There are 530 half links out there they are just not being made anymore. A # 50 industrial chain is my other option! WHHEEWWWWWWW!!! I have the adjusters all the way out, and have tried the vice grip, walking the chain, ties, etc. etc.-Got to have a 530 half link. Some one must have one in their tool box!

See if this will work.

#50 would not be bad if you are just doing the short pieces from the T-20 down and not having to restring the whole machine and waste good 530.
Try that link I sent and see if they have any in stock.
That will do the trick. I have already ordered it! It's not an o ring but at least it's the right size. Once the chain strecthes a little I will take it off. I can't believe you found that!Thanks for the help Jerry!

On my Max IV , there are 2 sets of holes to mount the chain adjuster/idler sprocket. You can move the adjuster to the other holes to get some more adjuster travel.
I already tried that Lance. My problem is I have gone from a 16 tooth to a 12 tooth sprocket. With the stock chain there is so much slack that adjusting it puts the sprocket into the rear drive sprocket. To use a master link you have to take off a small (narrow) and a large (wide) link. When I do this the chain is about 1/8" to short! A half link is a wide going into a small and will add 1/2" to the chain and let me use a regular master link. (instant fix) Run the machine 3 or four hours, get some slack in the chains and the half link can come out. I have already tried everything else and tried every trick to take up the slack. Check out the link and you will see what a half link is and why it is the fix for my problem. THX DAN

This link will only add a 1/2" to my chain.
