after spending about an hour unwinding and unrolling this chain and mettle tubes out on the ground I thought this could be expensive. I stoped at the local nh parts place in Elizabethtown PA. The parts man said he had repair links so I bought two of them but they dont even look close. If I buy a complete new chain ( apron chain ) how do I atach those mettle tubes. thanks in advance as always tugboat tim

If you are going to buy new side chains anyway, see if your NH dealer will order you an apron WITH bars on his "Parts Payoff Fall" pre-season program. With the discount he gets it may not be that much more than the bare chains on everyday pricing. We used to do that for customes who didn't need the stuff till Jan., Feb. when the stuff would start coming in.

Thanks for responding all. there inlies my question I guess. the bars are now peened over such as the factory would do it I guess when I buy this new chain I guess I'll have to grind all these bars off with a grinder then replace with bolts. and wonder if the bolts and nuts will come with new chain thanks again all tugboat tim

I'm really curious now..... ..

Trying to think here, the only way I recall seeing them is with a bent (tapered locking nut as opposed to nylock) nut on a machine bolt. If thats what they are they will come off, I think I did have to break them loose first and then spin with an air ratchet. Also (once again if I recall correctly) chains did not come with bolts or nuts. I think on an 851 I twisted off about 2 dozen.

Takes about a day with an air ratchet if they are bolted.

Model # ??? 850?? 851??? How were the originals attached.....rivets? Been a long time, but I think we used (correct length) bolts (1/4 by ???)when we changed out the roller chains.....
