New chains have kinks.

Post by dillon45 » Wed Nov 26, 2014 9:10 pm

Hello everyone I have a question concerning my 350 B I bought it
from a guy who replaced the the sprockets and chains. He said it cost
him $5,000.00 with labor.
The little machine runs good and all gears and reverser work well,
problem is he let the machine set outside after changing the sprocket
and chains and now they are very stiff with some kinks.
Any ideas how I may be able to fix this problem ?
I would like to show some pictures but I don't have a clue how to load
them using this site.

park the machine in a few inches of water just enough to cover the chains (bottom only) about 3 inches or plow a bunch of snow if you have any :shock: :shock: ... as for pics you have to use a third party like photo bucket .... http://www.jdcrawlers.com/messageboard/ ... t+pictures

I have the same problem with this 450b. New chains then left for a few years. Our snow is dry so that has not helped, next spring I will take it down to the lake and get them wet.
