New Idea gathering chain
Permalink  

I have this posted in the For Sale/Wanted forum.  I'm putting it here too in case anyone may not have seen it over there.  I also added some pictures of the part I am looking for.

 

 

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 have found several sources for the regular chain 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!

Follow up--I sent an email to the Farmchains.com web site and attached the same photo I posted here. They replied that they did not stock these links but could get them. Said they had to be ordered over the phone and not through the website. They gave me their no. I called them and ordered what I needed and they shipped them right out. Price was $3,39 each, plus shipping. Very pleasant folks to deal with!

If you haven't found them yet, I believe I have left and right ones in stock.

Thanks for the reply but, as mentioned above, I did get them from Farmchains.com.
