chains?????

[Russh]

Has any one ever tried the heavy duty chains???? At Farm & Fleet I can get a 10 foot #50 chain for around 12$ They also have a #50D chain for around 25$!! I compaired the two, D being a much beefier chain. Would I have enough clearance???? Is it worth the extra mony????

i bought a couple of the 10ft sections of the #50 chains from lowes and replaced all mine, they work fine for now

I just pulled all 6 chains off of my Hustler and they have 530 stamped on them. How does this compare to a 50 or 50D?

what do you have???????????

What year??? What motor??? What spring??? I am NO expert, and I don't know what 530 meens. Still learning like you!!! I am just curious what setup you have. I went to a "red" spring and could snap the old chains with little effert!!

Year unknown, engine Chaparral size unknown, still trying to find out what I have. Looks like the 980 Bigfoot on the other site. (Route 6x6) Pics on the thread "I just got a Hustler and I have questions"

chains

a 530 and a #50 roller chain both fit the same spocket. All the measurements where the chains meet the spocket are the same. The difference is a 530 is a beefier heavier chain. A 530 O ring chain is even heavier with O ring seals on every link. #50 chains are normaly used in industrial applications.

at a glance

at a glance I would say it is a standerd husler. in very good shape!!! But a 2-stroke---2-cylinder----liquid cooled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!COOL Once you get the bugs worked out, it should fly!!!!

Yeah, that looks like a 950 and someone put a Xenoah LC in it. The 340 and 440 were both popular engines and still fairly easy to get parts for. Either one should push the machine right along!

A 950? ok cool. Any ideas on how to tell what year it is? I still need pics of the latterals. I need to fab or buy some.
