As most of you know a lot of the old Cases had a chain final drive--At the pull in Waterloo,Ia. while pulling we broke the one on the left side. It had 140 chain from the factory so we spent the extra $$$ and put 140 heavy back in it. It takes right at 11 ft. and comes in 10 ft. lengths so we had trouble finding 1 extra ft. instead of buying a full 10 ft. length. The big supply house in Chicago sold it in increments of 1 ft. but were out of 1 ft. lengths and would not cut off a ft. from a longer length--I said--don't you have a maintenance dept. with a 4 in. grinder and a cut-off wheel??--NOPE So I had enough 1/2 links to cobble it together for we had another pull over the week-end. Can't get some pics to load---Tee

Son pulled it in the 5500 lb. no speed limit class and got a win--Had more weight hanging on the front end the we ever had.
 
i understand the reasoning of replacing the chain with 140H chain. if the new chain doesn't break next time, will you snap an axle or maybe bust the rear end? i guess what i'm trying to say is maybe the 140 std chain is suppose to break to save more expensive parts. good luck.
 
Sigourney it is--The track was the bityest I have ever seen--Son was going to run third gear at 13 mph but went second gear at 10 instead and was glad he did--about choked it off. Really checked out the next--Weakest Link---Tee

I ran the 5000 lb. 4 mph class with the most weight I ever had on the front and still had front end trouble---
 
I think the next weakest link is sitting on the seat. Couldn't resist Tee. See you this weekend?
