MIKE, GENE, AND ANY OTHERS NEEDING CHAIN.

YES, AS GENE NOTED, THE REAR CHAIN IS A COMMON #40 BUT I DON'T THINK YOU WILL FIND IT AT MOST HARDWARE STORES. YOU WILL FIND IT AT:
MOST FARM MACHINERY STORES
MOST ANY BEARING OR INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY HOUSE.
MSC SUPPLY ON LINE.
ALL SUPPLY HOUSES SELL IT IN 10 AND 50 FT PACKS.

FARM MACHINERY REPAIR IS THE BEST BET FOR A CUT TO LENGTH PIECE. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU AVOID THE CHINESE MADE CHAIN.
IF YOU WANT TO BE SHOW QUALITY CORRECT, GET THE DIAMOND BRAND WHICH WAS USED ON OUR LITTLE BIKES "BACK WHEN" DIAMOND BRAND IS A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE AND NOT READILY FOUND.

Gene,
I know Duane will be happy to sell you a chain, and I don't want to take away any of his business, but....

Try any good hardware store, the rear chain is a garden variety #40 chain, sold by the foot. The same hardware store that has the chain should also have the master links.
Ask around, you should be able to find all you need locally.
