I broke it

It didn't break, it just presented you an opportunity to make it even more dependable by fabricating a chain guard!       :ychain:

:text-coolphotos:                The picture of C 4 conquering the gravel pile is great.

Ha, thanks - I have been looking at the picture and thinking I need to pull my finger out and make one!

nice picture, I agree with 953 on opportunity to make a chain guard, that might also be a good time to use some CHAIN-CABLE LUBRICANT ON IT . and related movement points, pete

I would think it's time for a new chain anyway. Might be a good idea to install a oil cup above it.

To oil/grease a chain or run dry... a tough question!  When you machine is out playing in the dirt and mud an oiled chain can attract so much dirt the oil cab be the failure point.  I know I've seen modern steel cable that has the self lubricating Teflon/plastic between the cable lays.  i wonder if theirs some chain that utilizes some type of modern dry lubricating feature?

Probably an optical illusion but it appears that rear chain sprocket has reached its end of life stage and there may even be a few teeth pulled forward.

It was, the teeth profile are perfect, but rather than blunt, they do have points.

You want to use motorcycle specific chain lubricants like bel ray super clean.  It’s chemically designed for off road environments.  Good stuff that I’ve been using for years on my dirtbike chains.

 Just seen this. Does need a chainguard. Also something along the lines of a Scott oiler as used on motorcycles.

 

  As for being embarrassed, Tyke.  :text-nocomment:
