When your chain drive starts making noise or skipping, there’s a good chance one of your idler sprockets is worn out. These little workhorses keep your chains running smooth and tight, whether it’s on a planter, conveyor, or elevator. This 17-tooth idler sprocket is built to handle 50 chain and gives you the precise fit you need to keep things moving.
What You’re Getting
- Fits standard 50 roller chain—the workhorse size you’ll find on most farm equipment
- 17 teeth provide the right balance of chain wrap and smooth operation
- 1/2 inch bore fits common shaft sizes without needing bushings or adapters
- Machined construction ensures consistent chain engagement and long wear
- Direct replacement design—no modifications needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This sprocket is designed for the chain drives you’ll find on planters, grain handling equipment, conveyors, and elevators. The 50 chain size is a standard on many agricultural machines because it’s strong enough for heavy loads but compact enough to fit in tight spaces.
Made to Last
Farm equipment runs hard and puts a lot of stress on drive components. This idler sprocket is machined from quality steel to handle the constant tension and wear that comes with moving grain, seed, or other materials through your operation.
Good to Know
When replacing an idler sprocket, it’s a good time to check your chain for wear and proper tension. A worn chain will eat up a new sprocket quickly, so replace both if the chain shows signs of stretching or damage. Keep a little grease on the bearing to help things run smooth.
