Spur sprocket conversion?

[WOLF_RIVER_MIKE]

Can you change a spur sprocket set up over to a rim sprocket?

Sure, as long as somebody makes the right clutch drum. Example, you can buy a drum to accept the large spline rims for 3/8" chain to fit Homie S-EZ's, but not the small spline for .325 chain. There are 9-pin rims in .325 large spline, but the S-EZ won't cut well trying pull the chain that fast.

Thanks guys, Frank, I'm looking at converting a Solo 633 over to 1/4 pitch for carving/detailing. Baileys nor GB carry a 1/4 sprocket for the saw.

Mine too. I got mine last February. Before Christmas my Husky dealer was setting one up and I noticed the spur sprocket. He said that's how they were coming now.
