I'm looking at a Husky 562xp. Runs fine and looks fine on the outside. Didn't have any tools to look at p&c.

That's due to be replaced but they're dirt cheap.
Most of my friends run their sprockets until the chain starts having issues, all their sprocket look worse than that.

JUNK it!
I save a couple of those to use with my wornout/junk chains when I have to cut stumps or something that might have wire/metal/rocks inside. I run my chains down until a cutter or two breaks off.
Yes, I bet you are on to something!

I start thinking about replacing mine when they look like that but it’s got several good, safe cutting hours left. Nothing to get excited about.
Continue to use that sprocket with an equally used chain but don't mix new sprockets with used chains or vice versa if you can manage it.
