Yeah, my 1650 isn't too bad to change the link on, but my 1955 is just absolutly miserable to change. The chain has to be located in precisely the right spot or it is impossible to get the link in. Tractors without cabs are esier to access the chain. Usually by the time I get the blankety-blank thing in I'm six feet off the ground and blowing smoke outta both ears! And no I've never figured out an easy way to put them back in either. I have to grind a bit off the pins to get the things started on the 1955, too. Do Agco dealers still have the links availible?
