Case 450B chains.

I worked a wet area a while back, parked machine and now have frozen(stuck) chain links on both sides. Chains aren't original sealed Case,I think they are cheap after market. I'm about ready to start yanking the shoes(pads) off. Just wondering if anyone has done these. I think its time for the rose bud. Ideas? Aloha from Maui

    Take it for a trot. Even better, a trot through some water. All that weight flopping along will free things up.

    I've been using it a lot.Feels like going over rocks.Pretty hard to cut finish grade. Never thought about water tho.Figured it would work itself out eventually,no such luck yet.
