hi was wondering if anybody knows the drive chain size for 96 773 skidsteer...is it #80 or 100 size chain....back wheel locked up on me and sure enough the chain broke and fell apart luckily nothing got damaged..soon as it happened i shut it off and lifted the back up with the forks and dragged it in the shop with the t190.... the only thing the chain says is diamond and #10 on the backside of the link...it looks like an 80 chain but not sure.. i sure would appreciate your advise..thanks for your time

Hi ECRACER21 I have a 2001 753 Skid steer with a broken drive chain. Could you share with me were you found the heavy duty master links? I am in need of one. Your help would be greatly appreciated! Brian

Talk to a bearing supply shop, they should be able to sort you out.

this just happen to me a month ago on my 542b i was able to get the chain at fleetfarm (they sell #60 and #80 as well) 2 boxes of the 10ft sections should do all 4 chains. but you need to buy a additional pack of 3 master links (each box only comes with 1). Also i used AW32 oil from fleetfarm to fill the chaincase with instead of the expensive bobcat fluid.

I just had a major issue with my chain case. I found out that they are a weird off chain size. Mine is a 1998 773, they seam to be a Bobcat only size 83 pitch or something like that according to the parts manual online. G

Pretty sure 80 HD will be fine take a piece of your old one in to match up
