    Equalizer bar bearings + center pin pivot shaft seals Scopes / adjusters Segments are tight Final drives leaking Excessive play in nose cone pins Blowby Steering clutches and brakes work If you can run it run it hard watch transmission temp

    On the front end of each track frame the large chrome cylinders. The chrome needs to be decent and bushings and seals to keep oil in track frame.
