chain

Top link chain. I know a lot of people run them for their rotary cutters. What else do you use them on and do you have pictures of your set up? What are some precautions?

Not my clever idea, I've seen this other times, but I finally got tired of not having a good place to tote my chain saws when I go out the fetch firewood. Using some materials I had lying around, here's a quick but functional solution...

I have a Stihl MS250 and a 261. The 261 is a pro saw and noticeably more power than the 250. For whatever reason the 250 chain throws better chips and is sharper. They are both using the green safety chain, I use the same tools to sharpen them but do use the 261 more. It’s not like the 261...

G’day Tractor Forum, I've recently picked up a Toro Z287L with a seized FH680V engine and a bad deck. I've cleaned up the engine, honed the cylinders, and soaked the heads in ATF. I reckon it'll run fine with new gaskets and oil. The deck is a non-original 52-inch replacement, but it’s beyond...

Hello. I have a two wheel japanese tractor 8HP. There is a chain 10B between the gearbox and the tiller. I cannot find the oil seals for the chain box and I also want to attach different things, not just the tiller. So I decided that I should replace the chain with belts. But I do not know what...

Has anyone mounted one of these on a compact cab tractor? I have a Kioti 2620cab on its way and this looks like I could put it to good use. If not a great place to "store" my Stihl chain saw. I guess my real concern is if the saw will block my left side view of the bucket. I didn't get any real...

Can anyone tell me the size chain in inches for a 15x19.5 R4 tire? Length & width.

I’m putting on my new tire chains for the first time and have a question. There is a lot of slack chain left and I haven’t even rolled a bit to readjust them. Is this normal? Should I cut some of that extra length off or zip tie the excess etc.? They are Aquiline Talons 16.9 - 24. Are R-1 Ag...

Is LS having supply chain issues for parts? Our repair center said they ordered parts and it has been at least 6 MONTHS!

I have been running full chisel saw chain but am thinking of trying semi chisel. I understand that it is a bit slower but is more forgiving of dirty and frozen wood. Doesn't dull as fast. Anyone have experience and thoughts?

Had to pull the Kubota BX out of the mud I got into while mowing. The Mule did a good job, but my cheap rope was cut by the frame of the tractor. The 2nd try I used a strap with open hooks on the ends. I worked but I found open hooks and straps don't mate up so well. I was wondering what all of...

My drill has a 28ft chain on it. It’s old and has been breaking on me, it’s a messy pain on the a to repair. Ditch which wants 3k for it. I don’t mind paying that if it’s truly better. Amazon had 10ft sections for $150 each including shipping(DW shipping would probably be more than that...

I am thinking about a new saw and prefer the larger chain for felling bigger trees- by my standards, you westerners would call them saplings. ;) Any thoughts on this? I know that it will void the warranty so probably would wait until that ran out. My neighbor has done the same and likes the...

Re-purposing scraps is one of my favorite things to do. I decided to make a small mini-scabbard out of an old bed frame and a piece of 4" square vinyl post. It was nice having it on the Loader control side of the tractor that is out of the way and angled for easy saw removal. A little welding...

The LS MT225s has turned into my little 25hp "Go To" rig. Decided to install a couple bucket chain hooks on the bucket lifting and pulling. While at Rural King the other day, I found this D-Ring (bolt on style) rated for 10,000 lbs. I fashioned a support plate for inside the bucket under the...

Does one first have to drain the tractor's hydraulic oil before removing the bolts that attach the check chain brackets on a 1970 MF135? (See photo. . . ) Thanks, in advance, for your help!

I was told the crank seal was bad. So he changed it and it didn’t last a tank of gas till the same thing. Won’t take gas. It’s a 70s saw that I bought new. My question is is there a place online to buy this. I’ve watched so many utubes I think I can change it myself. He is a great guy but I...

I have quite a few rocks and uneven terrain on my property, on which I keep the weeds down with a 42" riding mower. Needless to say, the occasional blade striking a rock is rough on the blades and spindles. Has anyone tried or considered taking an old blade, cutting it short and drilling holes...

Will chains listed as fitting 14.9 x 24 tire, fit on a tire marked 16.9 x 24? Thanks for any wisdom.

my McKee econoplow snow blower needs some love. the chain tensioning is done via a flat belt pully and a bolt in a slot for adjustment, very simple and very worn out. should I find another flat belt pulley or replace with an idler sprocket? any advantage or disadvantage to either one? its a...

pretty new to chaining anything. For my grade70 chains i dedicated to my tractor's trailer, i bought 'locking' style clevis grab hooks because it makes setup a tiny bit easier (no dropped hooks before i get it snug), plus theoretically in a "bad event" where there was a some momentary slack...
