Fertilizer drive unit chain for 140

BMD · Jun 8, 2009

What is the name of the type of chain that drive the fertilizer unit on the Farmall row crops( SA thru-140 and cub)? I know its not a "roller" type chain
Also does anyone know how the chain is "sized"?

Sometimes the simple things are the hardest find.

As always all comments and answers are greatly welcome.....

#32 detachable link chain, a.k.a. cultivator chain and a host of 4 letter words.

We always just called it elevator chain.

I had never actually shopped for any until about six months ago; I still can't believe the price. I never knew solid gold could rust like that.

BMD: Detachable link is the name I remember for that type of chain. Been so long since I've any of it, I don't remember numbers.

"I had never actually shopped for any until about six months ago; I still can't believe the price."

What were you quoted?

More or less than the DEERE price of $3.20 a foot?

Hi, Bob.

I was thinking of TSC's price of $4.90 per foot for #32. It just seemed like a lot of money for no more than what the chain appeared to be.

I guess the cool thing, though, is that it can handle a little hay or twine, or a cornstalk or two, without jumping off a sprocket.
