[AT] Case thresher elevator chain

[bukowski at uiuc.edu]

Hi

Sorry for jumping in late on this, and I hope I am not 
repeating.  I found a company in Dixion Il that carries most 
all farm type chain currently available, as well as most 
special attachments for flat chains.  I got some small 
attachments for a #32 chain for my NI #7 corn picker from 
them.  I could not find them any where else.   There web 
site is here: http://www.farmchains.com/ , but there hard 
catalog lists a lot more items.  Might be worth a call for a 
replacement, but I doubt if the original style is still made 
from the pictures that you show.  Maybe an interested 
blacksmith could put one together.  The paddles could be 
made OK.


Good luck
