Description

When your chain drive starts making noise or showing signs of slack, it’s often the idler sprocket that needs attention. This little workhorse keeps your chain running smooth and properly tensioned, guiding it around corners and keeping things aligned. Without a good idler sprocket, you’ll get chain slap, uneven wear, and eventually a breakdown when you can least afford it.

What You’re Getting

Precision-made 17-tooth sprocket designed specifically for #50 roller chain
5/8 inch bore that fits standard shafts and mounting hardware
Smooth operation that reduces chain wear and noise
Durable construction built to handle the constant rotation and tension

Built for Real Farm Work

This idler sprocket is commonly found on planters, drills, balers, and other chain-driven equipment where you need to guide the chain around obstacles or maintain proper tension. Whether it’s routing chains around frame members or keeping drive chains properly aligned, this sprocket does the job without fuss.

Made to Last

Farm equipment doesn’t get babied, and this sprocket is built to match. The hardened steel construction handles the constant flexing and loading that comes with agricultural work, while the precise tooth profile keeps your chain running smooth season after season.

Installation Notes

This is a direct replacement that mounts on any 5/8 inch shaft. Make sure to check your chain alignment when installing—a properly positioned idler sprocket will run quietly and extend your chain life considerably. Keep a little grease on the bearing surfaces, and this sprocket will serve you well for years.
