Well as you can see from the pics below I decided to make my own sprocket.
The decision made easier because I had a 10"x10"x3/16" plate.
That was all I needed. It wasn't really difficult, nor easy either.
My back is screaming from all the bending over cutting drilling, grinding, filing...repeat.
Using the commercial version as a template
Cutting it out
Drilling 1/8" center hole
Using old flat files to keep it from rotating.
Scribing the teeth profiles
Filing away the imperfections
The first sprocket is finished.
Matched up with a template. The filing of the teeth took some time. It now rolls freely.
Tomorrow I'll drill out the center hole and weld on the shaft collar.
I think I will also reinstall all the drive components, and test this sprocket.
If A-OK then it's on to the second one.
