Can anyone tell me what size chain is suposed to be on the drive for the wide spread of a #17? I can't seem to keep that chain on no matter what I do. Was looking at it again to day and the chain just don't line up right on the sproket. It fits down in the spaces on the sproket only on abought 3 cogs on the fortherest point from the back sproket, but then on the bottom it starts to ride up out of the cogs. I have added links, taken links off, tightened the tention, made it ride sloppy and no matter what it jumps off eventualy. It goes thru spurts were it stays on for a long time, then it will have afit were it jumps off quicker than you can put it on. I have checked to make sure all three sprokets are square with each other and all look good. Any addvive would be helpfull. Thanks..

there is an idler sprocket it is the only one that is alittle lose, the other sprockets are rounded off some. but the chain just don't look like it fits the big front sprocket properly thats why i think it has the wrong size chain??

You may be right.Does the chain fit the other sprockets somewhat.I don't imagine the wrong sprocket but you never know. The idler is probably ok,but it sounds like u have a missmatch. My spreader is a #12 but they look the same. Give me a day or so and I will look mine over to see how the chain fits on mine.

Do you have a manual? This may tell you if u are missing an idler pully.Im not sure with out looking at mine but i think there might be.Are the sprockets loose?Do they wobble from wear?Are the cogs rounded off? As far as the chain size I couldn't tell u.
