Thank you, that's where I started! He has the chain, not the sprockets. Not what I wanted to hear. I pray that someone out there will come thru with the necessary parts?

It looks like someone replaced the flywheel sprocket with a small pulley. You might find it easier to find a large pulley to put on the drive wheel and use a spring belt or O-ring instead of a chain. The small pulley is also great for driving lots of accessories. If you want to stay original, buy the chain from Frank (weedensteam) and continue to look for the gears. You could do both, allowing you to have fun with it while searching for the rest of the parts!

Thank you Gil. Good idea, I'll consider going both ways in my search. I'll continue my quest to fully equip as originally produced. I guess I need to find someone who has a wreck and or attempt to machine the parts myself. If I could get my hands on the original sprockets for enough time to draw out what I need I'd be on my way. I appreciate your comments and any help you can lend.

Or replace the Weeden chain and sprockets with meccano.
