just got ready to build up the drive sprocket on my T6 dozer and when doing the spark test i got an orange spark with a carbon test. This didn't make any sense to me so does anyone know what the sprockets are really make of. This is a 1947 maching and it looks like the sprocket is original

thanks

I just want to say i hope you are fixing the problem that worn your spockets out. The first thing everyone wants to due when there spocket skips the first time is replace the spocket with out looking into what worn them out,and that would be internal wear on the pin&bushing, streching the pitch causing the spocket to hit higher and higher on the bushing until it has gone so long that it wears the end of the spocket and it skips on the worn bushing.Cure,new chains,New pins&Bushings or if limited use machine and works mostly flat ground Turn the pins&Bushing.

Back in the 50s here in the UK it was common practice building up sprockets,what a waste of time and money,never seen them give any decent service even the one that were machined when built,nowerdays it must be cheaper to buy a set of rims and weld them on than buying rods and spend hours upon hours welding and grinding,I would only do it as a last resort if I could not buy a set of rims.

Almsot 60myears old!! wow. I doubt that. Sprockets generally last 4000 to 4500 hours, about 2 years of use. It should be a cheap grainey grey cast. I dont thik thay had a replaceable weld on ring like the cats of their day. A stainless rod or exotic like an MG 600 or Cetanium missel wel may build it up. have you priced a new sprocket. Google "Berco" and see who your nearest dealer is for an aftermarket replacement, get yu tractor SN and the cast in part number fo the sprocket
