I see flange bearing in the end of the axle tubs, and I think I am seeing pop rivets, I think you need something more substalcial then pop rivets to hold the sprocket, they are soft............Curt
 
Yes, my rivets are not as strong as they could be, but in my defense, I had no idea what I was doing when I built that jack-axle for it. Amazingly, it worked out the first time. I will have to re-do it soon. I am not sure what you mean by "Flange bearing in the ends of the axle tubs". See how primative the hubs are?

BTW Ed, I'm sorry for hoggin' up space on your post, I was not trying to hi-jack you. My apologies.

No problem whatsoever. I'm not an internet snob.
