Tony he is using it for grass and I thought you could shim the smaller gear and run it in the bigger chain..
 
JOSH, WHATS THERE TOO SHIM IN THAT SECOND PICTURE. DON,T FIT. WRONG CHAIN FOR THAT GEAR. I NEVER EVER RAN TWO DEFFERENT SIZES GEARS IN ANY OF MY SLEDS. 3:16 (yammie tony)
 
we thought we could have shimmed it on the spline so the gear would run in the middle of the chain, but the gear doesn't seem to line up with the links..
 
I only thought there was two kinds of chains made, the regular style and hyvo style. I was told back in the day that you could run the 15 wide gear in the 17 chain as they are the same chain just with 2 more links. Rob if you cant make it work get ahold of me and I will get you back your money.
 
sure, I will be in my shop tonight if you want to swing by but it wont be until after 9:30.
 
i would have liked to meet you and have a beer but i do want to get this thing back together, ya sure the same spot and i will leave the 21..cheers
 
im surprised that didnt work. did you try a shorter chain? Im not sure its the width causing stress but the length of the chain. I think the 24/37 used a 70 link chain and earlier gearing combos used a 68 linker.
 
me and a buddy tried it last night in the sled and it was still binding, so i looked at the gear chart and it shows it will work with 35 driven gear with a 68L or a 39 driven with a 70L.. i can see how it would work with the larger bottom gear because the chain wouldn't make contact with so many teeth on the top compared to having the 37 on the bottom, hope this makes sence..lol.. anyways just got in with the 23 thanks Josh..
