    Hey..
    Someone out there might be able to help with this problem..
    I bought a second hand PTO mixer a few years ago and all was great, was building a house and it's great for odd jobs mix'd well and you could bring it anywhere on the tractor..

    Last time I had it out the chain started to slip.. I titghtened the chain a bit but it continued.. When I opened the cover the larger top sprocket on the drum is completly worn, hardly any teeth to be seen at all..:mad:

    There's no manufacture plate or markings and like all others I've ever seen the drum is yellow and the frame is blue..

    I'd really like to get it going again rather than scrap it..
    Does anyone know if replacment parts can be got anywhere??

    Sounds like one of the old Teagle mixers I'd say. We have one at home for donkeys years (not for sale tho i'm afraid :o). There would have been plenty sold back in the day so maybe try scrapyards. I doubt you'd be able to get new parts nowadays for one. Any chance of a picture?

    I know the mixer, we had 1 something similar happened , and I know we spent a fair bit of money repairing it and TBH it was money down the drain it never worked right, it's a long time ago now, cant remember fully but we bought a
    petrol one soon after that

    I don't think it was a teagle , they were a different set up , could be wrong of course!

    if you have the time and the patience, rebuild the teeth with weld, or get a mechanic/ engineering firm to do it will get a few years of light work out of it. if you are going to be doing a lot you may need a new cog,

    not as easy as it sounds, 'cos of the size difference you need to be 110% dead on

    however it's worth a try I suppose, maybe our one was strained or something, just couldn't get it right.

    No, I know a welder that tried this before and he couldn't get it right either.. I'd like to get a new sprocket as the rest of the mixer is in top condition and it would be a good job when done..

    Surely it's an off the shelf chain/sprocket setup. teagle, or others didnt make these things themselves, they just bought standard parts.

    I dont have any reccomendations for drive chain suppliers, might be time to break out the golden pages.

    You could get a new sprocket lazer cut and welded on.

    Only thing is, when you get a new sprocket, you need to get a new chain. The chain will have worn along with the sprocket and stretched as well.

    I was going to get digger sprocket wheels done a few years ago, but decided to got with new ones as I had to change the tracks as well.

    if i remember correctly the sprocket is about the same diameter as the drum if you are any bit off the chain with be too tight at one point and falling a little further along the rotation,

    we had a row with the engineering firm, cant remember the out come left it with the brother to sort out.
