520 stock and may have been changed to 530 as many years and owners may have changed the sprocket size..................lm

Got me wondering, so I checked the parts book....says 525.

Checked mine.....also 525, sprocket also measured to be 525.

Since 520, 525, and 530 all have same pitch, just different widths, it's not hard to imagine someone mixing the sizes.

Not so dumb....just human!

Wonder if someone tried to use a 520 on this 525 sprocket?

When I got it, there was no chain on it.
