Anybody know where I can get hold of some No.55 Steel Detachable Chain - 4ft - used on my IH440 to drive the pickup - actually just need one link to replace broken one. My friendly power drive dealer has tried hard but can't source any - seems to be available in US often used on planters apparently

Er they weren't ordered when I first posted, 25th comes before 27th. I ordered from US as nobody else seemed to even know of this type of chain plus US seller revised postage to sensible level. I now have my baler working and i can get rebales done.
So thanks to all who took the time to look and give me some pointers.

Never seen that type of chain fitted to a baler brfore
Strange but true!
Main drive to intermediate shaft is normal roller type chain but then to pick up shaft is this chain - IH later changed it to roller type but obviously original sprocket teeth are far too wide for roller chain. You could of course change intermediate shaft for later type plus pickup drive pinion but a lot of work and likely to be expensive.
