Keep all the pivots and axles well greased too. Many elevators have died an early death from sprockets hanging up and ripping chains apart. I just rebuilt an old ground drive for a lady down the road. Never greased it and tore the bed chain apart. I had to machine new sprockets, replacement parts were unavailable.
Come down here to Amish country - they sell new sprockets and chain like this. If you need to let me know I can get you an address and phone number. They don't have a website but will ship it to you.
