Hello Does anyone have an ideas on how to free up track pins as the previous owner must of left her sitting and the track have sized where the roller where we have driven it around and they have not freed up. Thanks John http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIGbH-ERgz4
Nice machine. Others will probably chime in with better ideas, but I would take off the shoes and hammer the chain a little bit(alternating either side of the pin) with a 4x4 piece of wood to knock against. I have done this before to get the pin a bit more free. YMMV
Hi The easiest way is to lift the tracks just clear of the ground with the bucket and some blocks set it turning slowly in low gear and pour diesel onto the links where they open up going around the sprocket , you may have to let it soak in by leaving overnight and have another try the next day cheers Malcolm
Just an up date we raised the machine off the ground and placed a log of wood below the sized links and lowered the machine on to the wood the link did not move, johh
