I know, I know I am just a farmer trying to hold some old equipment together. But recently I needed a new Detachable link chain for my Brillion drill seeder. Probably the same size as used on the Van Brunt grain drills.

I just told them it was to old and I'd check with the horse and buggy amish that live nearby.
