Cool sprocket

Vitez, Bosnia

Having been in the bicycle business, I really appreciate this huge sprocket, which is from a tank. It could be from a huge bicycle. Shows that some engineering principles are consistent regardless of size. I've forgotten what the story is on the fire. If I remember right, it started when a soldier was lighting a kerosene stove. Nobody was hurt.


other sizes: small medium original auto

You can just make out there are two sprockets welded to the barrier. They are worn down final drive sprockets from an AFV 432. I know this as I put them there.

Not actually from a tank, James. It's not big enough and we didn't have any in Bosnia. Need a REME to ID it, maybe Warrior or Scimitar drive sprocket.
