No link shows, but there are no direct replacements, anything new will require sprocket rims.

I'll try again. https://rubbertracksandattachments.com/ ... -set-of-2/ So these wouldn't be correct? A sprocket rim wouldn't be the end of the world. I assume they are probably 350 tracks?

No, in spite of what the add says, those are 350 chains. New 1010 chains do not exist, haven't for as long as I have been at this. Those will work, you will need to purchase a set of 350 sprockets, cut the rim off of them and yours, and weld the new rim on your old centers.

Lavoy, looking at my drive sprockets I can see the rims appear to have been welded already. Is there a way to determine if they've been switched to 350 rings already? Couldn't find anything in a search here.

If you have a piece of 1 3/4" OD tubing, set it in one of the cups and see if it sets in there all the way to the bottom.

Okay, I can do that. Would the 1010 be smaller?
