  • chain question

    Does anyone know where to buy higher quality, heavy duty #50 chain. The only place I can find chain around here is tractor supply, and I am not happy with the quality of that chain, it seems to stretch too quickly. I have not had luck finding any other place though. If anyone knows of a place or a website to buy good chain, please let me know. Thanks
    I don't want to go fast, I just want to go anywhere.

    This is just one place that i use for bearings and chain.
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

        Motion Industries is a good source for quality chain. If there isn't a warehouse near you, they'll drop-ship to your address. I've used US Tsubaki and Diamond from them, both with very good results.
        Stuck in the seventies- not in the swamp.

          If you have a way of getting a good discount from them, Grainger sells Tsubaki.

            The fine people at Recreatives Industries, Inc. (the manufacturers of MAX 6X6’s) told me that they use Tsubaki Omega 530 o-ring chain on their Max IV’s. So, if they use that brand and type, you know it is a quality chain.

            So, I went to eBay and found this exact brand and type of chain being sold in various auctions. I ended up buying chain from “Xtreme Line Products” at 1-888-595-6116.

            The price was fair enough that I ended up buying Tsubaki Sigma 530 o-ring chain . . . instead of the Omega type chain. Sigma is Tsubaki’s highest tensile strength o-ring chain . . . according to what I was told. This is even a higher quality chain than are put on Max IV's from the factory.
