BX 3pt chain replacement

Av8r3400 · Oct 9, 2005

After bending one, and breaking the other tensioner chain on the 3pt on my BX2230, I did the B7610 modification.

Can anyone who has also done this mod tell me what type of pins they use for the adjuster? I slotted the lower hole for the factory clevis, and used the pin from the upper factory clevis on the top tube, but the "PTO Pins" I'm using for the adjuster hole are too long. What did you guys use? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I used 5/16" pins from Ace hardware. They have multiple holes drilled in them and are about 1/1/2" long. They can be cut to fit but I left them the original length.

What is the B7610 modification? Does this replace the sway links? I would like to find a replacement for the stock sway links.

The Mod replaces the screw type sway links with a telescoping link from the B7610 (I think). A search will get several threads on the subject.

A search found this thread with all the info I needed.

I modified my BX2200 with the telescoping stabilizers (picture). It is easy to fabricate and install and well worth the effort. A step by step install procedure can be found in the TBN threads.
