Snowblower Motor driveshaft

[C.Lesco]

So we bought the snowblower motor from andymark but didn't buy the sprocket we needed since at the time we didn't know it was a unique axle design nor did we know we would need a sprocket in the future. With the current canadian exchange and shipping it would take 100$ to order a small sprocket with the 10mm DD bore junk for an axle slot. Does anybody know of any cheaper and reliable sources for something like this? (25 series sprocket)

if it's a hubbed sprocket, can you drill out diameter to size of snowblower shaft, and then tap a set screw in side of hub to connect to snowblower shaft. good luck.

Depends on what machining capability you have access to, and what other sprockets you have in hand.

If you have some 1/2 hex sprockets-

1) Best bet would be to water-jet a DD Hex insert
2) Mill a DD insert in Hex Shaft Stock.
3) Not the best fit, but you could also try just a 10mm center hole in a lathe. And then use preferably two set screw against the two flats.

A good machinist with a milling machine could make easy work of modifying a hub to DD
