  • Replacing the chain

    Sounds like there are a lot of you buying rolls of chain,counting,and breaking links,having leftover chain,and spending lots of time doing so.
    A much easier way to go,and not much more money, if any, is to get it from an argo dealer,all pre cut, pre measured,pre packaged for each section,and includes the master link,plates, and locking clip.
    Replacing chain is a real pain to begin with,make it easier on yourself, and check to see if you can get it precut for your unit,FYI

    Most of us want to save some $$$ It doesn't take much time to lay old chain out and put beside new, line up rollers, or count links, mark and break chain. And we save some $$. Your right about replacing it! But cutting-breaking bulk chain is easy for most of us!

          Hi Plott, Have you tried 60H chain from Princess auto . You are right,of course, about the 10 ft. lengths but the price is right and I was having good results until very recently. The H means thicker side plates and slightly longer master links.

            The TSC store carries it as well if you don't have a Princess Auto near you.

                  I have in the past used the chain from princess with reasonable results for the price,although it was not with the use of them Damn rubber tracks the added strain of them put it into severe duty and only the best chain will give you a decent result,so ya just got to figure on how much time you spend on tracks myself it works out to 5 to 6 months of the year so i stick with Argo replacement chain,but all the precautions in the world will not get you away from chain windup tension and premature wear and tear on the chain and sprockets with the use of the Argo track system.
