I bought a couple dozen SC 1.75 last year and the original owner replaced the chain. He used the small quick connects to do it. I didn't notice this when I bought them, but he was using the sales to buy larger traps due to large number of coyotes he was catching. All the quick connects looked fine, I just made sure they were tight.
There was a thread earlier this year about strength of these (test ~250lbs ??). After reading that, I feel comfortable with set up. I will try to send a pic later today.

Buy large split washers (5/8" I believe). Open em up, put em on, close em back and tack weld on each side. Then attach your j-hook. I use to run a bunch of SCs and never had the split washer comprimised... and I used them for coyotes.

That split washer idea is a good one- lock washer worked the best for me. Swivels made with Bob Custer's bender using nails work too. Fence staples work as mentioned above
Just passin through
