Looks Good.
See you had to split the swing arm to get it there.......
What are the plans for the carrier roller stand. Back to roller or the wood skid??
Built to last. LOL. Probably out live the both of us:D

thansk guys, i was able to get back on THE HOOD today after being the social butterfly for the last week. we had some people up from the land down under and spent the whole time looking at the computer screen for days on end. after about 4 days i know why i don't work in an office with ladies with low cut blouses and high cut skirts.
so today i was in the shop getting dirty and loving every minute of it, it must be the stero cranked up to the 80s rock and roll, LOL. i went to tighten up the little tinny guards on the sprocket area and i noticed things were not right. so i popped the saddle thing off and then things got really loose. so now i know why the sprocket is woren like it is. everything was moving. so now we have to fix it up and get it back to being as good as it will get for a 50 old machine. LOL

old magnet we will be doing the wooden roller thing to make it a ture winter freighting cat.

well after a day of thought, it was decide that we will make a sprocket out of the new rd6 one. by the time i wait and get one from 1000 kms to the south. i can have this cat back together.
i needed a spocket puller so i whipped one up and i decided to weld the arms on because i knew that they would be under pressure. pumped up the jack and just a tap on the back of the spocket and pop it went. WOW EH!!!!!
so i have the right pitch but one tooth short because of the different diameters in sprockets.
only in the great white north EH!!!!!

Hi KoO,
I like your puller:D How many ton jack is that, looks like about a 50

Thats the hard way to make a sprocket but I can't think of any reason why not.
Watch the warpage, keeping it clamped/tack welded to the old one will help when it comes time to trim it all up and finish weld it.

What kind of shape is the finals mounting hub in? The one the sprocket goes on.

Ok, I looked closer and see you have them tacked together, good.
Lots of the sprocket rims were mounted by cutting them and welding in place without pulling anything,
Just a few more cuts is all. LOL
Not how I would prefer to do it by yours is genuine necessity.

yes old magnet, everything is good on the hub, it is a weld rim on the hub and not installed right.

only in the great white north, LOL

Segmented sprockets with no bolts.

Magnet---

Do you reckon the ice will act as a filler for the one missing tooth?

Go ahead on King----you got the bull by the balls, uh----I mean horns.

DD, i have no choice, made phone calls and such luck but i was caught off guard. i thought i had one in the inventory in the KINGDOM.
so by tuesday afternoon it will be going back on and by the weekend we should be pushing snow.

Hi DD,
Good one on the "Segmented Sprockets"
I'm sure the "dentist" will take care of that tooth. No wooden ones though:D

You are one individual who thinks outside the box. Maybe it is what it takes for the great North Land. Reading your work in the little shop needs to be required training for some the individuals who can't work because their adjustable wrench didn't say Cresent. ( It was an American made.)
Your dad should be proud of your can not fail drive.

ocb, i think if i lived in the south i would be very very bored, LOL

thansk to the BB i knew it was the right pitch of sprocket, then we could start making one.
