tracks

exactly, next time I put them on I will take a pic, looks like something out of the "road warrior"

Ahhhhh. Now I understand. I thought the tracks were somehow used to tie the front and rear tires together. Since they don't travel on the tires, that eliminates both concerns I had...................chim

Maybe the two of you could put them on real quick so the rest of us could see that picture, before that that truck goes out on the trip to test that new bumper/grill guard... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Randall Today i had to take my old hoe down a right of way for the power company and dig a footer for them. I hung a stub and gouged a hole in my front right tire, then put a pin hle in a tube on the bakc left tire. ALl the uneasy noises i heard of the the stubs i missed and, thentires slipping on some of the terain has dictated i build some tracks for my machine.
There service truck picked up 2 holes on the way to air up my tires. Now ive gotta figure the circumfrence and diameter of my tires. and order the steel.

When you measure circumference for length of track, it wouldn't hurt to lift one side and let the air out. Then make the tracks a couple of inches short of that so when you bolt them on and reinflate they will be a tight fit.

Thanks Randall what grade chain would you recomend for the links, I ll need to go to church all weekend after my obscenityies let go on the brush stobs. THey had a road bladed out but the fella on the dozer had never been on one befroe and didnt know how to keep the blad down and just covered up the stubs. I run grader tires on my hoe so i cant afford to replace them lol. Im building another footer tomorrow so today i got the keys to the little Case 550.Theyll know ive been through there.

I used 3/8 high strength, you be the judge on what you need for your application. Putting them on grader tires, I would tend to use bigger chain. You have more to weld to.
