We spent another day working on the 55 combine. We finally gave in
and used the blue tipped wrench on the old concave. I purchased a
new Raddle chain from A&I and we decided that we would install it
while the concave was out. When I got the chain I noticed that
drags were square tubing rather than the flat bars like the original. I
wasn't happy but they were the only supplier that I could find for the
part so I just shrugged and carried on. We rolled it in by piggy
backing on the old chain. We got ready to connect it in the front and
it wouldn't fit the sprockets. The chain was too wide!!! I peeked in
the back to see that it didn't fit the rear sprockets either. It was riding
on top of them.
The A&I chain is 1/2 wider than my original and will not fit. Obviously
we were thrilled since I had torched a portion of my original..
Does anyone have a lead on a better source for the chain?
