The bushing or steel rod through the tracks had broke. They cut it with the torch to get it loose, then broght in the sledg hammer and a huge rod that was held against the bushing. They would torch, then hit until they nocked it out.
When they had all the old material out, they got the track lined up again with chains, backhoe and blocks of wood. Then they hammered in a new bushing. The welder and grinders came out and then they were done.
The excavator never left the trailer and it took 3 to 6 guys about 4 hours to get it fixed. I should have asked what it cost, but never did.
