actually chains are terrible at this...
the only reason i can get away with a chain in the drive system is because
it is on the motor side of the worm gear. Your right about the hydraulics,
and ig I owned the correct ones, i'd consider it. This doesn't seems to be
affecting the gear that its attached to at all. the 724 that i have it
hooked to inside of the worm gear unit, is handeling it like a trooper.
like i said in a previous post, its made the ride so markedly more well
behaved, that I can barely believe it. Its worked out leaps and bounds
better than I would have suspected.
your right though. I smile every time i look at it.
