went out for some ditch blastin with the thunder and about 4 miles from home. i stopped moving real fast___!well long story short, a chain laying in the bottom of the case. i have never broke a chain before just curious how often this happened?

i have two t1000's and havent broken one yet.

The only time I broke a chain was on my 97 440 zr. I had broken chain links on my 700 zr but never broke the chain.

well finally got her apart, and yes the chain was at the bottom of the case......and this...
twisted the top gear right off. so much for just a new chain!!

My 700zr did twist off the driveshaft just like that.

I use to break chains all the time. I started to use a 15 wide on 13 wide gears. The wider gears won't fit in the older chain case. This worked real well because I never broke another chain.

If you need a shaft I have a used one. Dan

I've blown chains. Good grip and high engagement did me in a few times. That jackshaft is an easy fix. At least you didn't blow the chain through the side of the case like I did once. MIKE>>>

welcome to the t-cat world of broken chains, snapped shafts, ripped mounts, torn tracks and loose rivots. big t's are to heavy to be jumping ditches. keeping the chain tension snug helps, but 15 wide gears not just a chain is the way to go. what were they, a/c thinking, 13 wide chains are for 340's.
