Description

#40 Economy Roller Chain – 10 Ft Roll with Master Link


The #40 Economy Chain is a versatile, cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications, from industrial equipment and outdoor power tools to go-karts, mini bikes, and racing lawnmowers. Whether you're repairing a drivetrain or building a new setup, this chain provides the strength and flexibility you need—without the premium price tag.


This chain is supplied in a 10-foot roll, offering more than enough length for full installations, drivetrain adjustments, or use across multiple projects. It includes one master link for easy initial setup, though we strongly recommend using a chain breaker/riveting tool to create secure, permanent connections—especially in performance applications.


Used on most of our own racing lawnmower builds, the #40 chain is a stronger and more durable alternative to #35 chain, making it an excellent upgrade or replacement in higher horsepower setups.


Key Features:

  • Chain Pitch: #40 (1/2")
  • Length: 10 feet (can be cut to size)
  • Includes: 1 master link
  • Material: Economy-grade steel
  • Compatibility: Works with most #40 sprockets, gearboxes, and transmissions
  • Ideal For: Go-karts, mini bikes, racing lawnmowers, utility machines


Why Choose #40 Over #35?

  • Stronger construction for better durability under load
  • Used by many OEMs for gearboxes and transmission sprockets
  • Cost-effective replacement for more expensive racing-grade #35 chains
  • Perfect for high-torque and high-horsepower applications

FAQ

1. What is the difference between #40 and #35 chain?

#40 chain is wider and stronger than #35 chain, making it more suitable for higher horsepower or high-torque applications. It's the preferred option for racing lawnmowers and many OEM transmission systems.


2. How long is the chain?

The chain comes in a 10-foot roll, allowing you to cut it to your exact length. It’s perfect for one or multiple builds or for keeping extra on hand.


3. Does it come with a master link?

Yes, it includes one master link for easy initial installation. If you need extras, we recommend ordering additional master links or half links separately.


4. Can I use this chain for racing or high-stress applications?

Yes, but for best results, we strongly recommend using a chain breaker and rivet installer to form permanent connections instead of relying solely on master links.


5. What tools do I need to work with this chain?

For performance or long-term reliability, we suggest a chain breaker/riveting tool to safely cut and connect the chain without compromising strength.


6. Is this compatible with all #40 sprockets?

Yes, this chain is compatible with any sprocket designed for #40 pitch, including gearboxes, jackshafts, and axles commonly used in small vehicles and machines.
