I think that the chain on my snow thrower has given up the ghost. Part no. is 3028. Sears says that it is discontinued. Any ideas where to find a replacement chain?

Your probably gonna have to make your own chain to fit in the place of the one thats on there.

Haban Mfg. made the unit, you will have a very hard time finding anything for it.

Looks like standard roller chain, is the old one rusted up?

If you look on the old chain you will find a number on it. Most of them use a #40 or #42. You can buy chain from any farm store like tractor supply, some hardware stores, or NAPA. Count the number of links you will need not length because chain old all stretch. I bought the last chain I needed from E-bay and it was Chinese junk.
