Re: Where Could I Purchase #35 Chain?
 

Why online? You'll be able to suggest that you're from a FIRST team and deserve a discount, if you speak to them by phone, or better, in person. (It works.)

Canadian Bearings (They have lots of stock.)
Motion Industries
Ontario Belting and Power Transmission (These guys also have a Scarborough location.)

And places like Brafasco or Fastenal might also sell it. Call ahead to confirm stock. McMaster-Carr, SDP/SI also sell it, but you'll pay a premium, both because they don't specialize in it, and because it's shipped from the U.S..

best quality chain is form mcmaster-carr we have used it and have never had a problem with it, no breaks or snags

WM Berg has .250 pitch (#25) sprockets in 2024 Aluminum from 9 to 54 teeth in standard tooth counts. They all have a 1/2" diameter hub and a 1/4" bore. The part number is 25EM26A-X where X is the tooth count. They are a little more expensive than steel sprockets but they're really not too bad. They don't appear to be well stocked though. On some tooth counts there is a lead time of like 2 weeks.

#35 chain - Northern Tool $10/box of 10 feet w/ one master link: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...9474_200139474

#35 chain - Surplus Center $13/box of 10 feet w/ one master link: http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.as...ame=powerTrans

#35 chain - Surplus Center various other types (double, stainless, etc.): http://www.surpluscenter.com/sort.as...k eyword=PC35

#35 links - Surplus Center ($.35 master links, etc.): http://www.surpluscenter.com/sort.as...k eyword=PL35

Surplus Center also has sprockets and other stuff cheaper than McMaster-Carr and MSC.

I have used the chain and links from Northern Tool and Surplus Center and it works fine. No failures at all. It is not Browning but doesn't cost as much either.

BTW: Nothern Tool is also a good place for wheels and sprockets. Look around in their Go-Cart parts section.

Also, don't forget a chain breaker like this: http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.as...i tem=14-1037

It is an invaluable "special tool" for any FIRST tool box!

Cheaper at Northern Tool :)

Re: Where Could I Purchase #35 Chain?
 

Has anyone found a chain breaker similar to this specifically for 25 chain?

I find that ours often ends up bending the link instead of pushing the pin out, due to the anvil being too large.

Re: Where Could I Purchase #35 Chain?
 

Yep, I think I bought a chain breaker and 4 or 5 boxes of chain at Northern Tool last year and about 100 master links from Surplus Center all for less than $100 which should last a while.

Re: Where Could I Purchase #35 Chain?
 

Nope, I've looked and never found one either. If you find one let us all know!
