440 sprocket

Sounds like a head scratcher. Old sprockets make good bases for summer umbrella stands. Remember summer? Usually warm?

I was going ito offer my metal detector but I dont think it works when the snow is THAT deep...

Thanks scampr it probably wouldn't work very well with all the other crawler parts out there. it would be like trying to find a perticular needle in the hay stack. lol
I ended up shimming the sprocket on the good side so it would turn more true then ground the side of it so it wont rub on the rear role, now I can move it around and get the loader back on and the hydraulics working.
Some time in July when the snow is finely gone I will find the good one and swap it out.

Back to Lavoy's post about hanging the machine by the sprocket---I bet you could hang it by the sprocket and not damage it. I'm thinking, (1st time this week) the bend happened by a sudden impact rather than a heavy pressure. gregjo 1948

May be it was frozen to the ground and they used another machine to free it ?

Are these sprockets hardened? Seems like they are. I know when you smack one with a hammer, it really rings. I've never come across a bent one but, I've seen teeth broken off. We'll probably never know how the sprocket got bent so, make up a story and stick to it. Giving me a brain ache thinking about it.

My guess would be it was stuck, and someone hooked a chain to the track or sprocket and pulled it out with something large enough to bend it.
