CH, Thankyou for your reply, thankyou that it was full of information. In answer to your questions, as to 'who' told me? This is a compilation of info I recieved over the internet as well as sources offline. again, a compiliation. I do (now) remember reading that some of the eariler machines had a 5 7/8" link pitch. You posted your information as it is 'absolute'. And sounds like it is accurate. Case in point, "....the machine they came off of...." This is the machine they came off of, What if, over the last 30-40 years this machine (or others), recieved a different battery box w/a different SN? Or different parts were 'swapped' out over time? What if, some if these CASE crawlers, and many others recieved 'aftermarket' parts, that are designed to fit mulitple applications, and don't match (exactly) what the manufactures specification call for? Is your info still valid? What is the 'standard' for your information? the factory specs? A good place to start. Just some other thoughts... I do appreicate your help in identification of these items. I know first hand the frusteration of recieving the wrong parts...FROM THE DEALER who is suppose to know what they are doing. It's a good thing to work together. I can take the criteria...(just can't spell it) as I do not want to inconvience anyone....thanks again...sl
