10 tooth Bombardier Bombi sprockets...?

Hi guys!.
I am looking for a pair of new, re-conditionned or good used, 10 tooth
aluminum tracked Bombi sprockets.
I know that they were originaly fitted with 9 tooth rubber sprockets but
i heard that 10 tooth ones exists.
I will fit those on Bombi tracks, for a diy project so hub fittement is
not an issue...
I will fabricate my own hubs.
All i need is a pair of 10 tooth's that match Bombi alu, track pitch/ width.
Thanks guys :thumb:
 
I'd bet that if you click on "Boggie" (one of the forum members) in one of the thread postings, he'd be able to help you out. I think he specializes in Bombardier and either has parts in inventory or can find them. Clicking on his name gets you to a PM (personal message) through the forum.
 
YUP Boggie is the Bombardier guru. He even has sprockets made from a better material for many snowcats. He is out hunting now so give him some time to respond.

Thanks guys :smile:, still did not find what i am looking for:sad:...
Is Boogie back from hunting? sure had a long trip :brows:...

Im Back, but I'm afraid We are not going to have what you are looking for.
If infact you are looking for a "Bombi" sprocket so many people call me looking for Bombi parts only to find out they have another model not the true Bombi
but if yours has the Aluminum cleats then that narrows it down a bit. frankly
I've never seen a 10 tooth Bombi sprocket per say. The pitch is 3.00 " and so were some of the old snowmobiles and some of those were 10 tooth ?
we make the polyurethane sprockets and the aluminum cleats and can cut them to any length up to 30feet yes, Feet :thumb:
 
Hummmmmm... 30 feet wide tracks :brows: now, that is what i call flotation:thumb:.
Yes, i am talking about a real bombi, the one you make nice alu, grousers
for...
Do you know if those SV 250 252 or 300 sprockets fit Bombi tracks and
are 10 tooth???. Thanks Boggie :thumb:...

there are 10 tooth, but the pitch is for either 3-7/8 or 4-1/2 inch the diameter would be to large, If you don't mind me asking why the extra tooth are you trying to get more speed ?
 
I am building a mini Bombardier BR-180 (if you know this model !!!), from scratch
and will drive the sprockets with White Hidraulics high torque roller motors.
I need the extra diameter a 10 tooth will provide so the track guides clear
the motor mounts.
I am not using planetaries.
The machine, ( cab, frame, engine mount and suspensions) are almost
done :punk:...
Thanks for your interest Boggie :thumb:...

Just look at my Avitar?
you know the unwritten rule on the forums is you must post PICTURES....:biggrin:
 
What diameter are you shooting for?
The black (rubber) ones are for a snowmobile 7.5 " yellow (polyurethane)are much bigger SV252 sprockets

Well, Boggie, i seen your avatar so that's why i put those "!!!" :mrgreen:.
The machine is now under a big tarp, i promess i will send pictures.
Are those sprockets fitting in stock alu, Bombi tracks?.
Even if they are too wide, i can cut them to fit.
I figured that a 10 tooth must be 11~11.5 inch diameter (in between teeth).
That is what i need.
Of course, i has to match Bombi pitch.
Thanks for your help :punk::punk::punk:.

Not going to match the Bombi pitch. which is 3" the yellow are 3-7/8 pitch
sorry ...... still want to see your creation.
 
Hi there,
I'm thinking about making my own mini cat for grooming and building skibike trails. I'm thinking about using hydraulic torque hubs. I'd love to see pictures of what you have going on. I'll probably make my own gears and track parts.

Anyone have any advise on the hydraulic drive plan??

Thanks
 
Snowgoof, yes i will post pictures soon and, i found 10 and even 11 tooth
Bombi brand new sprockets.
I am working hard on it (the cat project) so it can be ready for testing
by next winter (2009/2010).
I am using White hydraulics motors and i may use Sauer danfoss pumps.
They will be driven by a VW turbo diesel engine :brows:...
 
Sounds like a cool project. I am completly absorbed in the idea of making my own cat right now. I want a small Bobcat like single seater for some tight course making for our skibikes. I am researching all sorts of ways to make this happen. I like the simplicity of the Fairfield torque hubs, but there is allot to figure out and the cost of the stuff is pretty high. I'm looking at the Surplus Centers torque hubs as an option. Definately want to have the engineering figured out before I start spending money.

I'm interested to see how you are going about it and if you have some less expensive ideas. I'm just learning about what technology is the best way to go and if there is some really easy hairball solution to go cattin. I know I need hydraulics to run a blade and any other attachments though.

I'm actually making a bike with a cat track to blow out some trails for shuttling some down hill runs with our skibikes. I have made my first urethane drive gear for the project so I'm getting a test run at making some of these components.

I look forward to seeing your progress.

bombthebest, what is the width on those sprockets and are they all 4 1/2" pitch ?? Sounds like a neat project youre working on, would luv to see pics of that project :biggrin:
 
Boggie would have every part you could ever hope to get to custom build your own snowcat. If he doesnt have it he has a full machine shop that can make it. He can just about build anything you could dream up on a snowcat!
 
Hey Bombthebest,

Here is some picks of my current project. It's just a toy, but maybe it'll just work. Like I said before it is a bike for mowing down powder for trails in the back country. It's going to have a huge front ski for floating mainly down hill.

Nice project Snowgoof :clap:.
Did you CNC your molds yourself ?. Those are worth a lot of $$$$$$$ !!!.
Good luck with your project.
 
Thanks, Yea I have a few hours of design time and machining the mold. I already made the centrifuge for some other projects in the past so I was that much closer to being able to do this. As you can see the test part came came out very well. Better than I hoped. I have many other parts to make still and dies for forming some of the sheet metal parts for the track. I do have a CNC machine to do this stuff which I guess causes me to get a little carried away sometimes. I'll post some more on the pedal cat soon when I get some more progress.
 
Hello All,

I am new to the forum and have a question. We have a Thiokol 4T10. It is still in pretty good running condition and we use it a good bit. The rubber on the drive sprockets is getting worn to the point that it is now metal to metal. Is there a place that we can get new rubber put on the sprockets or is there a place to get new sprockets?

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,
Eric
 
hello i am looking for a starter for a bombi with a ford 1600 motor who makes it where can i order one does anyone know
