 Topic: Kewanee 500 elevator

Where does a guy get parts for one? I need a couple sprockets for mine. They don't need to be new I'd be happy with good used ones. I know they made a million of these elevators so someone has to have parts

At least you didn't get "scolded" for your O/T question  . Please try the YESTERDAYS TRACTORS site, there's a wealth of info on there for all types/brands of farm machinery

The only dealer I have been able to find to help me with new parts is in Wisconsin. Good people. Old AC dealer.

Grinder, if you know the pitch and tooth count....maybe you could find something at Tractor Supply (they used to have some up to a certain size), or search for sprocket suppliers, various gear suppliers, McMaster Carr, Grainger, Motion Industries, MSC, . . . to name a few.

about the only way would be to measure up the specs of yours and try a generic cross match for diameter/shaft size/chain size, etc. and go from there.

Any complex equipment requires timely maintenance; it depends on operation efficiency, safety, and reliability. Warranty and working only with proven suppliers give confidence to our customers in the quality and reliability of delivered elevator parts. When I had a problem, I contacted the nearest service hinchong.com. The guys had all the parts I needed to repair my elevator. It's convenient; no need to buy anything; pay, and the work is ready.

Also, good elevators in their time were Valley made by what is now Valmont who has moved on to bigger & better things. They definitely were heavy & built well.
