Are there any markings on the chain ? Maybe a #8 or #80 ??? If so, then it would be the good stuff, made to lift 28300 pounds. If not, there is no telling what strength it has.
For hooks check out www.cooperhandtools.com they list some of their distributors there.

I say, some heavy duty chain, Hooks will be about 8 pounds each. Dont know off hand where you can get these but google search 3/4 chain hooks and you will find places that sell them I am sure.

check with macmaster-carr for hooks, need more than a kid to drag it for you, because of child labor laws. use a 4wd tractor,would be a good chance to in crease your stable of machinery.

3/4 chain! What in the world are you going to do with that? You will have to hire a kid to help drag it around :)

3/4" Chain! This reminds of a proposal I worked on for a piece of air transportable military equipment. The specifications said that the tiedown and lift rings had to accomodate 3" chain. We submitted the question whether this is what the customer really wanted or was it a typo -- they responded "That is what is in the spec, that is what we want!" This would be one of the battles we would fight once the proposal was won. Well, we ended up winning. We located some anchor chain that was close to 3". At the Conceptual Design Review, we had two guys dramatically drag in three links of this chain (probably over 250 pounds). Once the government consultants saw this, they backed down. At 3", the weight of the hold-down chain would have exceeded that of the piece of equipment!

are you sure that is what you got a 3/4 inch chain that means it made of 3/4 rod to make each link the strength has to be way up there.

we have alot of old chain around that is about 5/8 or 3/4, it was made years ago before they had all this heat treatment and alloy steels. the stuff is just basicly like mild steel i think, it looks real heavy duty and is a bear to lug around but realy doesnt have much more strength than a modern 7/16 or 1/2 inch chain. so before ya get to excited that ya have a super heavy duty chain ya might want to look into that.
