Chain, Trans 26-5/8 539030443

This 26-5/8 transmission chain is designed for and compatible with various models of aerator and sod cutters, where it powers the equipment through the engine and drive sprockets. This is the main engine chain that connects to the engine sprocket, which is what rotates this chain and should also be inspected if you suspect this chain needs replacing. If you hear excessive noise, chain slipping, or have difficulty when shifting gears, it is recommended that you inspect the chain for wear and damage. Although this chain is made of high-quality metal, it can wear down over time and will need to be replaced. However, regular maintenance, lubrication, and upkeep will prevent you from having to replace it as frequently. This chain is an OEM part and is sold as an individual part and includes the clip-style master link. To replace this chain, you will need a chain breaker, wrench, and screwdriver. Turn off your machine and allow it to cool, and then gain access to the main transmission using your screwdriver/wrench. Use the chain breaker tool to disconnect and remove the old chain from the engine sprocket and install the new one.
