OK, what is it, and what did it come from. Track pulley from an '86 Bombardier snowmobile. No. This is a bit heavier than that. BOINC WIKI ID: 1069186 ·

OK, what is it, and what did it come from. Track pulley from an '86 Bombardier snowmobile. That's a gear, not a pulley. Looks to be about 6 inches Outside Diameter. I've got chain drive gears that size and larger on the conveyors and cotton bale presses at work. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired ID: 1069192 ·

Okay, I was guessing that the board behind it was about 2" thick, so 6" was a ballpark figure. And the way I learned it, a sprocket was a special class of gear, but that's a quibble. So it's larger than 6" diameter. Is it a gear or a sprocket? Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired ID: 1069201 ·

I have several lapel pins that look like that but they are much smaller and made of gold and adorned with various gems. It the Rotary symbol. But I am sure that's not the answer you were looking for.
