Sprocket Question

[Philbert]

Found this inspecting an electric saw off of CL, and looking for advice.

Should I replace this sprocket, or just finish splitting it in half, so that I have two?



Sorry for the photo quality - my smartphone camera does not go that deep.

Maybe use JB Weld as filler?

Thanks.

I've has gas saws with spur drums come in cut apart. Is what it is.

Part is NLA from Sears - have to see if there is some Poulan, or other sprocket that will fit.

I am guessing that a wild thing clutch drum may just fit. Any numbers on it Philbert?

I have to tear it down to look at it, but it is low on the list - any 'saw time' will have to be getting ready for the Iowa GTG this weekend. Just happened to notice it - farther gone than any spur sprocket I recall seeing.

But the sprocket might even be separate from the clutch drum. If that is the case, I might be looking for a 3/8 low-pro spur sprocket, with the same bore, and finding someone to help 'de-braze' it from the drum? I was hoping that Poulan still listed it for one of their other electric saws. But maybe with dimensions I can find something that fits, or can easily be be converted, as you mention.
