oregonfarmfencer Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 We have a pair of Hayes chain strainers that are slipping on the wire quite badly. One of the wire grips has a groove worn into it. Has anybody found a way to repair this? I was thinking of welding some inside the grip to give the wire something to catch on.

West Fork Fence Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 http://hayesfencing.com/spare_parts.asp?categoryID=6 I wouldn't think you'd have much to lose by trying to repair yours, since they aren't working well anyhow. You would need a pretty hard alloy to face it with, I would guess. HT is definitely harder on tools than low carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED STAG Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 The best repair I found was to move to strainrite sold all the hays at a local agg sale no more problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strainrite looks nice. But we have had Hayes forever. The pair that is slipping is around 15 years old. We have 4 pair in the trucks that we use everyday and 2 pair one the shelf in the shop as reserve. May be time to bring those into use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth a shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
