good morning! In the front chain and sprockets section; do they make idler sprockets anymore? I checked on partstree and it said they were sold out. The part # is 93-1614.

Check with McMaster Carr. You will need to know what series of roller chain (40, 41, etc) you have first. Some of theirs have a ball bearing, others a bronze sleeve.

Looks like yours has an "open" design ball bearing - those need a slinger installed to help keep water, snow, & dirt out. A sealed (or shielded) design is better suited for the application.

Oh ya!! Some sprockets are shielded some are not.  Thank you!

# 40 chain. TSC has the idler sprockets. I believe they are 1 tooth short of OEM. It was years ago but I think I had to take out a link and add a half link to make them work but they worked fine.

@AHS if you are fortunate to get a sprocket , that has removable side grease shields , clean / flush out with carb cleaner , lucas  green  x tra hd chassis grease , jt  does not fail , 550 deg flash point , polyurea rated , stays with bearing , from my  pto mule drive to all my attachments , the spin up ease , is amazing . many years in service , NO FAILURES , only a suggestion , pete

Fairly easy to find & installs like a Master Link. A real problem solver.

Surplus Center is also a source for chain and sprockets but you’ll need to use specs instead of part numbers.

Get the numbers and manufacturer off the side of the sprocket and do a search.  I found several suppliers of farm equipment parts that had the exact sprocket for cheap.  I don't have it bookmarked on this computer but I should have it available later.
