Bought a Mustang 940 skid steer around the first of the year. It's the same model I already have. My original needs all the chains and sprockets in the drives replaced. Approx $3000 worth of parts from the dealer and a lot of labor. I decided it wasn't worth the money on a machine with 10000 hours or so.
The "new" one has an engine that sat with water in the cylinders, and a pretty mangled up boom and roll cage. The chassis is actually pretty decent other than the paint. It has had some idlers, chains, and sprockets replaced. Still has a few original sprockets and some bearings that need some attention.
Plan is to work through the drives and chassis on this new one. When my old one finally gives up the ghost, I'll swap my engine, boom, and cage onto the new one.
Long story short.....These sprockets are the ones that attach to the axles. Around $250 each at dealer. Bought a couple sprocket blanks off ebay for $30 each. Cut the welds between hub and sprocket on the lathe, opened up the id on the new sprockets, and then welded them on.
So, instead of $500 in 2 sprockets, I have $60 and a few hours messing around. Now to figure out how to save that kind money on the chains.......

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
