Hi all, new to the forum
I have a 2000 greenfield 32" ride on. Its striped the top sprocket so I have removed the drive & will change bearings & clutches in the process.
Question I have is about the rear sprocket. I know in the older ones the rear sprocket was part of the axle, but I was shocked to find that is still the case with this model even though it has the differential axle. The sprocket is actually used to mount some of the planetary gears to.
i have come up with a complex way to machine a new sprocket to fit but I thought I would ask here first to see what other have done in the past.
I'm considering having the existing sprocket machined off 50mm or so from the diff housing then have the last 25mm of the circumference reduced to 1/2 its thickness which will make a step. then machine to new sprocket the same dimensions but machined on the opposing face. when the two are put together the sprocket alignment should remain the same is my aim, will drill six holes or so bolt the two together.
I hope it will be strong enough, but as i said its a complicated way to go what have others done?
