I am about to tackle gearbox and lifting chain installation and thought it would be a good idea to replace these bolts.
Does anyone know the size I would need to buy.
Would like to have all parts on hand before the re and re begins.

Thank you for any help

i have just purchased this unit and doing maintenance and found a problem with the rear gear box. I have put up pictures and hopefully someone can help me and advise whether I need new chain or not and where to find them preferably in Canada.
I did find one site in Thornhill Ontario, but they only have one parts man and he won't be around for awhile and i would like to get out at least once before our rainy season hits for the fall.

I'm about to tackle replacing the lift chains on one of my '76 Ramada's. I heard there was a CD that illustrates the proper way of doing this?

Any help would be appreciated.
