We broke a gathering chain on a New Idea no. 300 picker. The link that broke was one of the attachment links (the ones with the hook on it). Upon inspecting the chain we found that all of those attachment links are worn thin and another one is cracked. The chain will certainly break again if we reinstall it. The number of the link is 67 WC6 R.
Does anyone have any of these or know where we might buy some? Our dealer said they are no longer available. We could probably also use some for the other side, just in case. The no. there is 67 WC6 L.
I think I found a source for the regular links, but these attachment links are proving to be a challenge. Any help or info would be appreciated. Either respond here or email me at judyandrich (at) frontiernet.net
I also did a little checking and found that other New Idea pickers use the same size chain, but the attachment links are different. Does anyone know if these links would work on our picker?
Thanks!
