You may not need anything to fix the apron chain ! The chain may be well stretched over time and you may be able to simply put the chain back together by snapping the links together, Always count them to make sure that the section you are joining has the same number of links on each side. I always used a comalong to jack the chain together so I could get the links hammered back into place , then tighten the chain via the chain adjustments. Most farm suppy /machinery dealers have links that you can buy if you need to and they can likely order you an entire new apron chain. I used to break those on a regular basis and got pretty good at repairing them. I learned a few things ... don't overload the spreader,don't ever leave it loaded if it could freeze and don't forget to put it out of gear when you pull out for the field. If the apron is moving it will jam the load to the rear and make the chain work hard to slide underneath, I had the beaters out of gear but forgot to release the apron gear. You can fix that chain !

It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
