Chris, easiest way to find the sprocket you are looking for at Surplus Center is to search on the bore and the pitch like this: 3/4 35p sprocket. Those search parameters will bring up all sprockets with a 3/4" bore or a 1 3/4" bore using 35 pitch. You can sub any pitch in there ie: 25p, 40p, 41p, etc. If you know all the parameters you are looking for you can type in a search like: 5/8 sprocket 35p 40t. That will pull up a 5/8" bore sprocket using 35 pitch and 40 teeth. Easiest way I know to do it. Since you didn't specify what pitch you were looking for I would suggest you just do a search on their online site. The lowest number of teeth on the sprocket is dependent on knowing the pitch and the bore.
