Open the swivel at the spring (at your own risk) to remove chain. Take every link apart till you get to the ring end. Install ring. Assemble in reverse order... Or pick up a complete chain, ring, swivel combo. Then remove the jawpost nut (at your own risk) from that side and replace the whole chain. Original rings are cast and tough to weld.. The sloppy way to go

If anyone has pictures of 1.5 Newhouse orignal chain set ups I would really appreciate seeing them. I have several different ones on my traps and some cant be correct. Thanks as always. You folks are great.

yep the 2nd from the left is the one. Wow thought I was going to go shopping for parts. I have that one and the next one in the middle on the Newhouse traps I have. The "next one in the middle" is a 1 1/2 size chain but it came from a lot of #1s that were all the same.... PAT. on pan but no date.

Great information from snakecollector!!! Thanks for the assistance to all of us. There I fixed it for you Jim. You and Dean have probably forgotten more things about vintage traps than I'll ever learn.
