I cannot tell you the lengths at the moment, but suggest the fourteen standard links within the chain assembly was issued with Canadian production universal carriers.

I will be at my Carrier tomorrow, if no one else beats me to it I will measure mine.

The number of small links assists identifying if it was issued for Canadian production universal carriers or CMP series vehicles.
Is the wire rope for u. c.’s a larger diameter ? I believe it is.

Hi Michael.

I notice another variation in the photos in this thread.

The ‘rope’ end of the chains in the initial photo end with a single heavy duty link. In the photos of the vehicle kit, these ends have an additional, heavy duty circular link added.

Would this be a manufacturers variation, or perhaps reflect what type of vehicle for which the chain was intended?

The wire ropes are the same lengths, but the carrier rope is a larger diameter. I have seen some lighter rings and D rings as well, but the part manuals ought to cover if they are the same items or not.

I have examples of the rope for both the carrier and the CMP. I am hoping to be in the shed for a few minutes tomorrow to rescue the snowblower, but no promises.
