Final drive verification

[Steven Bixby]

I seem to recall that at least one chain maker had one chain length as a 
"standard" that was cheaper than the pre-cut lengths, perhaps possible 
due to volume packaging or something.  I always found it easy enough to 
cut to fit so went that route usually.

Fortunately I haven't had to deal with chains for a few years. Love 
those shaft drives!!!!
