New Carrier Spockets

[J Henry]

Will keep you guys posted, I have the first set being made as we speak and will test them out and give a review on how they perform, but considering how wore out most tracks are I would think new sprockets would work with limited catching up and would probably mate to the old tracks quickly. I know the tracks stretch and the distance between links varies but the loose tolerances of the tracks I think will work them selves out with new sprockets?

Jason, how did those sprockets work? Cost, fit, function?

[J Henry]

It's been a bit and we are just machining the first sprocket now and will see how it fits to a set of tracks I have then we will go from there. When I said earlier that I was having a set made as we speak, well I thought I was but there was a delay in the machining. Also working on track links??

Hi I would like one, as spare.

Thanks

are the teeth case hardened ?

[Stew Robertson]

I think if the sprockets were later cut from 4140
Plate they would work harden and would work as well as the originals there would have to be a slight taper cut on the outside edges though
That should be a the machining needed
Just my opinion again

i tried putting worn track on new sprockets , it did not work! i used the worn sprockets which worked ok. i was told that the old timers used to cut the sprockets into segments and space them out, increcing the diamater.
today it is possible to cut a sprocket with increased pitch and diamater.
