Where Could I Purchase #35 Chain?

[Dave_Lu]

Hey,
I looked everywhere for #35 Chains, and I just cannot seem to find an online store that sells them (or a trustworthy online store). The first placed I tired was the IFR Robotics, and they seemed to be out of stock for the year, and then I tired eBay, but the sellers do not ship to Canada. So. If you know a place, or an online store that sells and ships to Canada, I would appreciate your reply =)

I go to a local lawn mower shop to get the 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

#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!

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.

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.

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

if you want to order online i would normally suggest Innovation FIRST but they appear to be out of stock, try McMaster-Carr http://www.mcmaster.com/

In addition to McMaster-Carr, MSC Direct sells roller chain, as does Motion Industries and Grainger.

[Kevin Sevcik]

www.mscdirect.com also have chain, but only in 10' lengths.

We purchase the chain at a local hardware store such as Lowes or Home Depot. They also have the links in stock. We do use McMaster Carr. They ship very fast with credit card purchase. Most places require you to purchase at least 10' in the box.

Stock Drive Products sells #25 and #35 chain as well.

I'll second Lowe's; if you need it fast, hit the hardware section.
