The 10 and 41 in that number sequence is going to be the tooth count, for a 4.10:1 ratio. The 8 73 should be the date of manufacture. Try counting the teeth instead of trying to interpret the stamped numbers.

If only one wheel turned in your counting turns method it'll seem like ratio is 2X as fast as it actually is. Again you're looking at 4:10.
