A rope assembly for a mechanical bulk material conveyor generally consisting of a continuous rope adapted to be trained about a pair of sprockets within the conveyor, a rope ends connecting flight and a plurality of intermediate flights secured to and spaced along the rope at intervals, each of such intermediate flights including a ferrule having a tubular section receiving a portion of the rope therethrough and being firmly secured thereto and an annular flange section, a disc member having an opening receiving a portion of the rope therethrough, a boss member having an opening receiving a portion of the rope therethrough, the opening in at least one of the disc and boss members having a first enlarged section receiving a portion of the ferrule tubular section therein and a second enlarged section receiving at least a portion of the ferrule flange section therein, and means for firmly securing the disc and boss members together with the ferrule interposed therebetween. The flange section of each ferrule is provided with an annular groove for receiving and guiding the blade of a cutting tool, thereby assuring a severance of the ferrule at its midpoint, a severance along a plane disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rope receiving opening in the ferrule and a minimal amount of metal to be cut through.
