Title: Sprockets
Post by: LT on February 20, 2007, 11:07:15 am

I am looking for the rubber that attaches to the track drivers/sprockets.    Does anyone know where I could source this.   Someone mentioned Shavers?  Schafers?.    Do they have a website?.   Does anyone know where to contact them?   Thanks

That is Dan Shaver. Shaver & Sons Enterprises Ltd. (204) 467-2605. Do you mean the 3 inch wide lagging that bolts on to the aluminum or cast sprockets or do you have the molded sprockets ? If you have the alum or cast you can cut 3 inches out of the centre tread on a bias (not steel belted) tire and it will last a long time but may not be worth the extra hassle if you can buy the lagging precut. It is a bit of a struggle installing but not too bad if you can get the sprocket in a vise and you have lots of c clamps and vise grips  to hold while you drill and bolt through the existing holes.
