[QUOTE="LeoB, post: 130377, member: 21523"] Based on my farm machinery experience and some very limited skid steer experience, let me offer this: 1. 60H is #60 roller chain, the "H" is heavy duty. 2. There are cheap roller chains and much better roller chains. Some roller chains have o-rings in them to help hold lubricants in the roller section of the chain. I don't know if Case uses chains with o-rings... See if Case or a Case manual can give you a spec on the tensile strength of their drive chains. Again, cheaper chains will have a lower tensile strength. 3. I have never had an issue with inserting a master link, sometimes called a connector link to adjust the length of a roller chain. So, I would not worry about "endless". 4. You will need (read really, really want) a chain breaker tool to allow you to adjust the number of links in your chain. Best $20 bucks you'll spend for chain work. The chain breaker pushes out the roller pins so you can remove one or more links as needed. Depending on the number of links of chain you need, you may need to buy two 10 foot lengths of chain or perhaps a roll of chain. 5. See these Amazon links for some ideas: [MEDIA=amazon]B085HK2558[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=amazon]B07W8PJTJH[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=amazon]B0CHG5XMBH[/MEDIA] 6. Lastly - Based on my LIMITED skid loader experience with MY Hydra-Mac 8B, this may help you. Rise and block the side of your machine with the damaged chain. Have a helper rotate the tire with the broken chain. They must follow your instructions to turn the wheel SLOWLY and STOP when you tell them. As they turn the wheel, you may be able to guide the chain around the sprocket to remove the damaged chain. If you are not careful, extremely careful, your fingers could be crushed between the drive sprocket and damaged chain. After you get the chain out, spin the tire and see if the drive sprocket spins true. The sprocket could have been damaged with the drive chain broke. My two cents worth, Leo [/QUOTE]
