When the sprockets start to show a pretty good amt. of wear, why couldn't you switch them side-to-side to wear the opposite 'side" of the tooth of the sprocket? I guess this would assume that the sprockets wore more from moving frontwards than from backing up. I know this works on sprockets for chains that always run the same direction--if you have a chain and sprocket that are mirror-images of each other, such as on 2 different sides of a machine, you can swap them side-to-side and have brand-new wear surfaces. Same as buying a new sprocket. Why wouldn't this work on the sprockets of a rubber-tracked loader??</p></blockquote><p></p>
