worn sprockets info

[johnnova]

I am fairly new to this and I don't want to make any unneeded mistakes so does anyone have some pictures of what a worn out sprocket looks like. I am in the middle of building a 2006 max 2 and wanted to make sure they are all ok before I put them in. I will post some pictures of what I have when I get home, Thanks

Here's a snapshot from Lewis' build. These are pretty bad, but don't show the worst "shark finning" I've seen.





Oh, here's a good shot from tubcrawler's fix-up. Nice 'finning there.

How do these sprockets look?

How do these sprockets look to the experts? If the teeth are too worn to be re-used I will take the opportunity to go to 13 teeth, but I'd rather stop throwing money at this thing if I can.

Thanks.

I'd scrap them both.....

Don't even think about reusing those, just toss them in the can. If its worth rebuilding, do it right. The worst thing to have to do is to take a machine back apart after a partial restore to address the items that should have been taken care of initially.

Any comments welcome, Here are some pictures of the sprockets I got out of my max 2 project machine. right now its striped down to the frame so if I need to replace these now is the time. Thanks again everyone.
