Looks like someone used a new chain on a worn sprocket to get more life from it.... I see it all the time.
If its only one side it could have been mis-aligned.Last edited by Bazooo guy; 01-17-2013, 09:36 PM. -
Flip it around and pull on the good side - ha!Thomas

Flame treated is the way to go, if anything on our machines has a chance to be a lifetime part, then its got to be flame treated.Comment

Hey Whipper, is that a snapped off input shaft from a T-20? I see old 9 tooth shift shoulders too. What machine was that transmission out of? I have one T-20 right now with the 9 tooth shift shoulders.......I think it was out of a '73 Attex 440 Thunderchief."Looks like you have a problem with your 4 wheeler........you're missin' two wheels there"

I wonder what years the T-20 used those 9 tooth shifters. What year do you guys think Rob's Hustler is? Mid 70's possibly? Were those factory original sprockets?"Looks like you have a problem with your 4 wheeler........you're missin' two wheels there"

Note: I've never seen anything like this ever. Until I bought my Argo the only sprockets/chains I saw were on recreational bicycles and then I've never seen a chain wear out that I know of.Originally posted by Bazooo guy View Post
How can you tell that? [honest question
]
If I were to guess I would have said that someone used a badly worn out chain way too long, especially on a non-hardened sprocket. Also, I imagine that worn out chain carrying a grit load would wear a sprocket even if it were hardened*.
My take is: Use hardened sprockets, understand that chain is a consumable and must be replaced when out-of-spec, and keep your chains cleaned and lubed.
* - Not the case here; if whipper says that this sprocket is not hardened then it is not hardened.
He knows his metallurgical 
, uh, stuff.

How did you get the teeth on the internal bore? Did you use an internal knurling tool?
