Looking for replacement roller chain 22 mm oitch

[whf4]

Hi,

I disassembled the RS1351 tiller. The chain had snapped. The chain case was full of gritty water .

The chain near as I can tell has a 22 or 23 mm pitch and rollers are about 13 mm

There doesn;t seem to be any finding it. The more-or-less equivalent US model is the FL1021 and the replacement chain is available at the eye-watering price fo $350.00. The local kubota dealer cannot tell me the size of the chain they are selling and says I cannot return it if it isn;t the right one.

Motion Industries, my usual go-to place for this kind of thing says they don't have and cant find anything close.

Standard ASME sizes don't fit (I tried) and the British Metric Standard and DIN chains are all actually imperial measures expressed in metric- that is, they will sell me a 'metric' chain that is 25.4 mm pitch. Not helpful.

Any ideas tracking this down?

thanks!

Bill

One option, considering the sprockets are simple ones, is to replace the 2 sprockets and the chain, can be done for around $50.

You might try Grainger or McMaster Carr

I see what you mean about the chain listing being inch sizes converted.
A very unique chain. Who Does That????
The effort to re-sprocket may be worthwhile in this case. I have reworked tillers with beat up chain/ sprockets before. Its a matter of cutting off old sprockets and welding on new ones. In my case i can make hubs or machine parts as needed.

I would also vote for new chain and sprockets. Replacing them as a set will give you the most life potential.
