New Carrier Spockets

Yes, new sprockets and old track will be a problem. Depending on the wear of the track, the old track will hang up, especially in reverse, on the sprockets. I would compare it with trying to drive #60 chain with a #50 sprocket.

I am led to believe that a set of tracks will require 2 to 3 sets of sprockets.
This is from a guy who worked them hard, making a living with them post war.
I recall new track will hang up for some time until it is run in.

I could be interested in a pair of spare sprockets. I have the T16 axle on my carrier, but I believe the sprockets are essentially the same.

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?

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??
