The new one available from TORO is now "nylon" vs wood and if you search there is post or two with the idler(dirt bike)sprocket upgrade ,Jeff.

Nice idea :handgestures-thumbupright:  did you need to make your chain longer to fit this bearing chain sprocket if so if you rember what chain length did you install

Yes, I did need a longer chain.  I didn't record the length.  I just moved the adjustment to the shortest point, wrapped the new chain around it, then cut the chain at the next longest link.  No rocket science here.  BTW, I got the new chain from TSC.
