IMHO, Don't go to places like sears for anything, the chains are brutal.

Without seeing it it is hard to say, A picture would be nice.

You may be able to cut and splice it. You'll need a brass nipple ( no, :lol: not a nipple ring) and a few hose clamps. Dayco make the nipples: 3/4" id is #80423. if it is 3/4", may be a 5/8" #80422.
