That's an impressive photo. Is that as difficult of a job as it looks? Is it just the rollers that are replaced or rebuilt and what about the drive sprockets and tracks themselves? Are the tracks OK and just the pins wear?

They are simple machines - nothing complicated BUT hard physical work. Everything is heavy and all the rock guard and roller bolts up into the track frame for 30 years are frozen in place and break off with to much force. Broken bolts are a misery. Working underneath is interesting to say the least.

I put on new sprockets, 3 new rollers, new chains ( Reused old track pads ), and rebuild the track tensioners.

Here it is on the lot where I bought it. May 2011. Owner did not try to hide anything. No Dupont overhaul.

Removing tracks. So worn and sloppy I didn't even have to break them to get them off
