Never seen a trippple like that! Must have been made for the guy who could not figure out how to unlock his Azusa taper lock sprocket hub to line it up with the motor ;)

Hey Kyle,
What you have in your hand is a sprocket for dual #35 roller chain. From the looks of the center sprocket someone ran a single roller chain. Did you remove the sprocket from the Max-Torque clutch drum. Also the brass oilite bushing has been removed.
Hope this helps.I ran dual #35 chain (Chevy truck timing chain) back in the 60's on my Rupp Chapparal

Everyone thought dual row chain would be stronger and help with thrown chains. It was stronger alright, but did not help with the chain throwing problem. What it did do was tear the crank right out of the block when something did go wrong.

Anyone looking for some double row chain I have a new almost full roll. I think it's called Duplex.
