sprockets and cleat spacing
Cranman:
Mine are about 3 inches and made from a Bias Ply Tire. I see most people now using 3 inch belting like the track belts for lagging. Just as well as I don't think you can find bias tires any more and steel belted radials wouldn't work. Mine have been on a long time but look good yet. Early 1953 metal with Aluminum sprockets.
BIGDAVE:
The track belts look to be about 5 1/2 to 3/4 wide and about .55in thick.x270in long. When I get serious about talking to belt builders, I will need exact specs for them, or at least good enough measures. Maybe they will even punch holes. $700 per belt newat Bombardier! Maybe belt guys can make a 24in for $700 and cut it into strips. The sprocket cover came from the local hardware. It is not quite 1/2in.

Big Dave,
Check with Dan at Shavers. He has them all cut and pre-punched. Not sure of the cost, but I was told that he has them.

Now that sounds like a good job for Jeff in his spare time, besides, I don't speak French. I can't even oreder a beer in French. Molson? LaBatts? Beer, eh? please
LT:
instead of using bias ply tires to affix to the sprockets, I went to a JD dealer and picked up some jd round baler belting. very durable and easy to work with.
