track drive sprockets

[Andrew Rowe]

Hi Richard , Lynn is right about using / changing out sprockets several times on the same set of track. Also check track tension, that you not running too loose.
As I have said I have seen Loyd brake drums with the same type of wear.
Usually on a standard carrier , new track will sit square to the brake drum, the more the track wears, when you look from the back end, you will see the track sitting on an angle , the more the angle suggests the greater the wear on the track, the Loyd mitigates this a bit by using the extra track edge supports.
Pic shows sprockets in the "grease" , cheers Andrew.

Hi Andrew would be interested in those sprockets, but don' t want tread on Richard H shoes if he has asked for them first?

Rich I will drop you an email regarding sprockets.. between the three of us we can work something out that will get you sorted. the sprockets you have imaged IMHO look like they are all but finished, I would be surprised if they are not “slipping” at this stage (track slips off the sprocket / jumps)

[Richard Salter]

If I only new this. Yes they have started slipping /jumping when i turn, I thought it was perhaps brake adjustment tried every thing els

Thanks

Here is the detail Richard (x 2) From an Australian manual, not the Loyd book at all. (Sorry. My previous guess was mis-information. I have edited my earlier posts)

Great work Lynn. Folk can make up go / no go gauges now I am sure

Well I was disappointed when the first size 1 5/8" was revised to 1 3/8" which indicated that my sprockets might be near the end. But the new correct size 1 7/16" has lifted my spirits again

Fortunately I have enough sockets in my workshop to come up with all three sizes within a few thou.
Cheers Ron
