NP249 Chain

Not sure if this applies to the 249, but on the 231 the main shaft is the output shaft for the rear. You just pull the main shaft, front outputshaft and chain as one piece and I would guess just swap the chains. You could check with Tom Wood

He doesn't deal in chains specifically, but SYE's and custom driveshafts. He'll probably be able to help you out with any 249 questions you may have.

If you ain't in a hurry, the factory service manual shows how to pull the chain, then install and align the pieces. Bummer, but don't have a flatbed scanner to copy the pages.

Thanks guys!.....

(wish I had the FSM...how much are they?)

One thing more....... You will need a really god pair of snap-ring pliers.

This is a requirement, the Harbor Freight ones just won't do...

Cost? Less than a typical visit to a shop.

Think of it as an investment in keeping your ZJ running.

Kill a tree, an innocent tree?

Hasn't the Druid Defense League put a stop to this?

AlGore is surely a supporter to this ban..... in his 1992 book "Earth in the Balance" he said it was preferable that women die a horribly painful death from a curable cancer than cut down a single living tree.
