Mr Mog that looks just right. To get started. A little trial and error and you will have those sprockets on the ground. There is just something difficult about starting something especially if we haven’t did it before. Lot of luck. Mike Hudson

Reminder -
The tonage is high when pulling sprockets, remember to leave the nut in place, stay on the opposite side of the tractor if possible so you have as much iron between you and the sprocket as possible. Any mishap sends shards of steel flying like fragments from a bomb!
Pulling the sprocket is only half the issue, it has to be pressed back on too, requiring more tooling.

I believe you are pulling sprockets from wide gage D6?
The T-section of your item shown might be to thick if pulling narrow gage when your up against the final drive case.

Well, if that be the circumstances then he will find that out as soon as he begins. Circular dimensions are difficult for the average without drawing skills and 3 d equipment. So it to early to can the project
