Is this spur sprocket worn out?

[Mad Professor]

OK, this from a friends a friends Husky 455. He said "chain stopped driving, it still will spin on the bar but makes a clunking sound and hard to move......."

Anyone seen one worn this bad? He's had the saw > 10 years and is original drum/spur. He can't remember how many chains since then.

Can't say I have seen one this bad, he's sure got all the use he could get out of that spur sprocket.

The chain had about 1/2 of the cutters left, he was going to reuse that................

I found a Oregon drum/rim/bearing setup ~$30, instead he bought another Husky spur drum/bearing for $32........this is after I explained about being able to just change out a worn rim......

My father had a saying "it's like talking to the wall....."

I'm pretty tight myself, but I can't imagine someone putting the wore out chain from that wore out spur sprocket on a new spur sproket.

I have seen a few that are worse. The sprocket was chopped in half and the chain ate right through the needle bearing and was working on the shaft. I never saw such a mess.

Got his money out of that one.

Yup, that's worse.

Must have kept on trying to cut when chain stopped to grind down to the bearing, OWCH!!!

I'm changing out a rim/chain on my 036 soon, will post pics. Rim is not terrible but got full use of chain that still cuts well, hand filed.

Just put a spacer between the clutch and drum - lots of good teeth next to the drum.

When there were $100 to be driven in HS days cars.......a friend had a Ford Falcon.......He took it for jumps (3-4' off the ground) so the frame was twisted.......used up tires fast.... he kept the trunk full from the scrapyard.........When asked about a front tire..."it's 4-ply, still got 3 left..."
