Making homemade skip tooth chain?

[barnbikes]

Have this sprocket off of a farm seed cleaner. About 1/2" wide 17" diameter and cat iron. Has anybody made their own skip tooth chain before?

Not me! What is the spacing between teeth on that one?

Looks like 1/2" x 1/2" tooth with 1.25" between.

You can do it Jon! I was planning on getting you to make some custom chain plates before you stopped taking orders, worked it all out, should work!

Go to a salvage yard that has farm equipment. Lots of old planters and pull behind corn pickers had all sorts of strange block chains. I'd bet you could find a chain there. Gary

Had the chain at one time but threw it away during a move.
