BEING A NEW WEASEL OWNER THIS IS INTERESTING...
BUT A THOUGHT COMES TO MIND ABOUT 4140 STEEL FOR WEAR RESITANCE,
SOMTHING IN ANY TRACK SYSTEM WILL WEAR OVER TIME, AND SINCE A SPROCKET
IS EASIER TO REPLACE THAN THE PARTS OF THE TRACK IT DRIVES I WOULD STAY
WITH A MILD STEEL SPROCKET AS PER ORIGINAL TO SAVE ON TRACK WEAR.
UNLESS YOU KNOW WHERE THERE IS A PILE OF NEW TRACK..
JUST A THOUGHT ON THE ABOVE, WITH 10 YEARS AS A MILLWRIGHT/FIELD WELDER
DOING REPAIR WORK IN QUARRYS.
