I need help with a Bonanza BC1000

[Vinnie Lytle]

Hello,
My name is Vinnie and I am a new member. I have a Bonanza BC1000 that I have taken apart so I can restore it. However, the rear drum sprocket is worn out and I cannot find another one. What can I do? The wheels are original, and maybe the tires, too.

You can cut the old sprocket off the drum and weld on a new sprocket.

I have been digging around and I cannot find the sprocket. I might have scrapped it. Do you have any other ideas? Sorry about that.

 

[Bonanza Bryan]

Yes cut off the old sprocket and weld a new one on. No one makes a new drum brake sprocket hub that I know of for the go power wheels so your going to have to get a little custom with it

How many teeth does that have?

 

[Bonanza Bryan]

That’s a 60 tooth #35 chain they had 72 tooth as well

 

[Vinnie Lytle]

Mine was a 72 tooth #35 chain. I am going to need to find a replacement

Watch Ebay or put a ad in the wanted section.

Stutz hardware in Michigan has/had some original sprocket/drums for the bendix. You would have to drill the holes for the go power wheels and rig up some spacers.

I just called Stutz hardware and they had some very similar sprockets. I have 7" rims and they said that their sprockets will not fit. Thanks for the tip, though.

I don't think go power wheels are 7". I believe they are 6".

Those are 6" rims. 7" rims weren't ever made. Mark

 

[Vinnie Lytle]

How do I measure the rims?

 

[manchester1]

I got this from Stutz last week and will be making it work with some go powers. NOS Bendix.

my wheels look just like these

Dave miller has em but they’re a little pricey I think. Also the one Karen posted can work but it needs the correct bolt pattern drilled and from what I remember the bore is wrong size but it is the correct sprocket

 

[Vinnie Lytle]

Thanks Ajf. I will look into it.
