RJC1965 160 #1 Posted November 13, 2017 I was inspecting and lubing the chain on my 2 stage 44 in blower and noticed some of the links were frozen. Can you get replacement chain at a local farm and fleet or tractor supply house rather then buying one of the toro ones? If yes is there something to look at as far as chain size or just go and match it up Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #2 Posted November 13, 2017 #40 roller, buy bulk 10'+ makes about 3, then you'll have spares for later, but you will also need some master and half links to attach the ends together and a chain breaking tool, Jeff. Then use the old one for front tire chains. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,350 #3 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) I used a #40 chain that I got from Tractor Supply on my single stage. I'm not sure if the chain on a 2 stage is different. Some one will come along that will most likely set you straight. I wasn't fast enough Edited November 13, 2017 by rjg854 Slow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJC1965 160 #4 Posted November 14, 2017 Thanks to both of you I have a chain break so set there I am going to make up three would rather be set for the next 10 to 15 years. WVH thank you for the tip on buying full links and half links and thanks to every one for helping the blower is now correctly attached to the tractor just going to keep going through all the maintenance and lubing procedures before I put power to it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #5 Posted November 14, 2017 Here's a lil video of mine running hope it helps with any questions with auger/impeller speed and sound if you get it play, Jeff. VIDEO0001.mp4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,777 #6 Posted November 14, 2017 Yes keep a few on the shelf .. better you change them yearly if used heavy than wear down those sprockets. It seems that most grade of common chain wear easily than sprockets which is better than wearing sprockets... especially on singles hooking the teeth on an auger sprocket. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #7 Posted November 14, 2017 Luckily the 2stage both sprockets are replaceable without cutting ,grinding ,lathe work and a welder, already did that on my old single tall chute, don't let 'em tell you that you need to replace the auger for a worn sprocket, if a hillbilly can do it anyone can, Jeff.
