#2 Tiller Chains
 

Hello all!
Rebuilding a #2 tiller finally. Tore it all down, managed to keep all the parts together (except) the input drive chain to output tiller gear (the smaller of the two sizes of chain). I have the original chain, still in usable condition. I um, however have managed to misplace the other chain and wondered if anyone can tell me how many links are on the upper chain, or a length, and chain size? Any info would be great. I have a manual, and looked at parts breakdown images, but they only give me a part number, no detail. Thanks!

I have not idea which chain you lost. Your post was confusing.

Either way, if you have one chain, they are the same size I do believe. Easy enough to check. How many links, no idea. Chain is pretty easy to figure out though. Just measure the length. Not hard man.... not hard.

There are two chains:
(A) 485691-R1 Main Drive
(B) 485692-R1 Tine Drive

Both are NLA from Cub Cadet.

Chain (A) and Chain (B) are both on Ebay right now. Floyd's Outdoor Power in Coppersville, MI

Mr. Bedell,

Thanks for the input. I did not think that they were the same size. Especially after looking at the sprockets. I'll check out the ebay page.

J-Mech,

Don't have the old chain, cant' measure it. Sprockets and shafts are not in the case, so can't measure center to center to get length accurate. I'm fairly sure that the chains are not identical in length or size. All I have is the tine drive chain. Sorry, my post was confusing.....it made sense in my head...… Thanks for your response though.

So, use the sprocket to get the chain size, then stick the shafts in the case and wrap a tape around them. Add a few inches if the bearings aren't in. How do you lose a chain anyway, lol. It's not like it's tiny.

That is irrelevant. :bash2:

Never been in a tiller, but it will prolly be a #50 and #60 roller chain
#40 is awful small and #80 is really big, but just a guess.:bigthink:

Found the chain!! After some interrogation of my rug rats, I was informed that the chain was used as as dog collar and then abandoned in another part of the barn where the dog shed it !!
Thanks for the help fellas.

KIDS, LOL! :Spank:

You should be able to replace both of them for around $40 or so including new licks for each.
That's about what mine cost last hear when I went through it.
Took 'em both in to the Case/IH dealer and was out of there in about 10 minutes w/new parts.
