Bowdoinham Dan 8 #1 Posted March 10, 2019 The bearings on this idler sprocket are totally seized up. Anyone know where I can order a new part? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,788 #5 Posted March 10, 2019 Replace both while yer at it and check the chain. If your luck runs like mine tho TSC will have only one or none on the rack and no #40 chain to boot! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,583 #6 Posted March 11, 2019 you might also find one at a local BEARING DISTRIBUTOR , strongly recommend that you keep that entire chain sprocket auger system bathed in LUBRIPLATE CHAIN AND GEAR LUBRICATING OIL, AEROSOL CAN. that seizure would have never happened. i lube mine before use and after , and put it away oil wet. spins easily by hand . good luck , Pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,033 #7 Posted March 11, 2019 You may find the replacement sprockets available have an extra tooth or one less so good time to replace the chain as that will affect the chain length. Most times 10 feet of chain come with a master link but pick up a 1/2 link in case that is needed to get the optimum chain length. The sprockets I can get come with a common 6203 bearing in them. You purchase a pair of bushings that you press into the bearing to fit the mounting bolt which in this case is 1/2". Next time the common bearings used are easy to replace.

squonk 41,032 #8 Posted March 11, 2019 Tsc will have only 1 like Jim said, and it will have 1 extra tooth like Gary said. Will have to add the 1/2 link. Change BOTH sprockets and the chain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,788 #9 Posted March 11, 2019 I did find some orginal tooth count ones .. Mowparts if I remember right but they were far from sealed as per Garry's post. you could actually see the bearings in side the races so matter how well you would keep them lubed they would wash out right away. I try and lube the chain down after every use but often forget about the sprockets. Usually packed with snow in there anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
