Nik Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 broke the chain 4 miles into the woods from good ol home...needless to say had to walk the fucker alllll the way back...almost burned the fucking thing...anyway the master link busted somehow so since the chain is still in good condition and to save some $$ i went out and bought a new master link...didnt fit...went back and got 2 more just in case and neither one fit...the links have lm520 sox on them and i cant seem to find shit about this chain on the net so im wondering if anyone has the same chain or know where i might be able to find a master link for this thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just get a new chain man. Make sure you put the master link clip on with the closed side towards the front sprocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just get a new chain man. Make sure you put the master link clip on with the closed side towards the front sprocket. I heard the opposite. Front ====<==== rear That's the best I could come up with. I heard its so the clip doesn't snag anything and rip itself off.

lms1977 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 yea on the top side of chain or sprockets the clip would go with the full closed radius part " ( " toward the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie B Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Same happened to me 5 1/2 hours from home on a trip. I tried no less then 3 different masterlinks. I had to buy a new chain and also 4 extra matching masterlinks. The closed end points in the direction the chain travels like stated- it keeps the weeds and sticks from catching on the clip stipping it off.
