Hey guys, maybe it's just me, but I am having one heck of a time trying to find a part number for a replacement chain for a NP203 t-case in my 75. I know people have purchased replacement chains for their rigs, but I cannot seem to find one anywhere online. Hoping my CK5 brethren can help out with this.
 
I imagine just the chain number might be hard to find as this is probably serviced as a kit. Iirc, the replacement chains are a different width than stock so the kit has sprockets too. Milemarker used to be the go to company for 203 chain kits.
 
Years ago I sold some made by ( or re-boxed ?) by Borg-Warner..
I think Cloyes may have had listings in the past too--but since the NP-203 are now "antique" it could well be no one is selling them now,at least separately ...it would make sense to replace the sprockets too,as both wear and a new chain on old sprockets would probably get ground up fairly quickly..
 
As far as I know they are long discontinued by everyone OE and aftermarket, we get calls from guys all the time who've been looking everywhere and can't find them.

As mentioned, there are two different widths as well.

Seems like someone mentioned that Drivetrain Parts Las Vegas may have a few NOS chains though.
 
Doesn't the new chain kit come from ORD?

Should have an adapter plate, a heavy duty 203 to 205 adapter shaft, bunch of gaskets, seals, a NP205 and triple stick all for one convenient low price
 
huh? (first statement)

The 2nd sentence sounds like you're describing a Doubler kit.

I see what you're gettin at! And it ain't a bad idea.
