I've been really busy so I haven't had much time to work on it, but I haven't given up! :thumbsup:
I bought the "brake hub" and the #25 Chain 55t sprocket. After careful measuring and drilling, I finally have a way to connect the #25 chain motor to a 1-1/4" axle!
On the surplus link it says...
... they never emailed me back about what sprockets bolt-circle pattern it is. But after further research I think it's 2-9/16" (not 3") Mounting Hole Circle link. Ahhh!! Why does nothing match? The motor I bought must be really rare or something.
Do you think it would work if I drill out...
Ok I'll try emailing them.
So you said "I'd probably go with somewhere around a 60-tooth" for the #35 chain. From what I've read 60t #35 sprocket is 7-1/4", while the 65t #25 is 5-1/2". They also have an 80t #25 sprocket, which is 6-1/2".
Do you think it'd be better to buy the 80t?
Thanks

Ok thanks. I tried asking and also looking some more, with no luck. So what I'm thinking is that I should just keep #25 chain. I still haven't been able to find any regular #25 chain plate sprockets.
But what I have found is a 65t sprocket for #25 that has a 4 hole mounting pattern that...
Ok thank you so much!! That is amazing info!!! :D It's going to help me so much!
I think my motor is 8mm D-shaft. (see pic 1)
I tried looking for an Allen key hole on the sprocket but I don't see any.
Thanks!
Tyler
Edit: So when you tighten the hub to the axle, it will also hold the "key"...
Sorry about the confusing question, I meant a 6 hole sprocket that would attach to a sprocket hub.
Ok I dont have any fancy electronic measuring device, but what I measured is:
A=55mm (2.165 inches)
B=45mm (1.771 inches)
Bolt Holes=8mm (0.315 inches)
It looks closest to...
Oh ok thanks! I get it. So would they (surpluscenter) be able to bore it out or would I have to? (I don't know of anyone that would be able to do something like that)
Thanks
Tyler
Thanks, that websites looks like it could be good! I'm thinking that I should get the one with the largest number of tooth. (http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=1-2742-72-F&catname=powerTrans)
But I'm confused about one thing, what does it mean when it says "Bored to size, can be bored...
Ok. I looked it up, #219 is close, but it's not compatible with #25. :(
I've spent the whole day looking for a matching #25 sprocket, but still can't find anything.
Thanks
Tyler
Ok thanks. I forgot to mention I also have purchased the motor (see pic). It uses #25 chain (I think it's 1/4" spacing between each link). I can't seem to find any matching sprocket/hub for #25 chain? :(
Does anyone know if they make sprockets for #25 chain?
Thanks!
Tyler
