Kurt-NEPA 755 #6 Posted January 12, 2017 Yes, I did need a longer chain. I didn't record the length. I just moved the adjustment to the shortest point, wrapped the new chain around it, then cut the chain at the next longest link. No rocket science here. BTW, I got the new chain from TSC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
