anyone seen this mess before? left track has worn 3 bushings completely through. track started to bind up and snap finaly figured out why . wondering why just 3 would do this
If you have a really bad pin the point of the sprocket may land on the bushing and bust out a piece so I'm told. Can't say I've seen it myself tho.
Its all that high speed mowing with that mad bushog attachment.
part of it maybe
Got some plugs being made from hyd rod goin to grind them to fit the holes weld em in n keep on movin dirt .the whole uc except the pads is worn way beyond where they should be so use em up
Plugged my holes.what a place to weld came out lookin like chicken scratch but it worked
Ehh, I've seen worse. Are the rest of the bushings getting thin?
Bushings thin from both sides, Pin and Sprocket, not too abnormal to see a blowout on a limited few before the others start breaking thru. Just based on Rail faces and the bushings shown you are well past 150% worn OUT. Patch may get you a few days work but will start seeing more break throughs as soon as start moving dirt again. Sad to say need to get UC on that machine like Last Year.
As long as the sprockets are still engaging, and the tracks aren't falling off, and there aren't any clearance issues between the pads and the rock guards, then there's really no problem running them for a while until you get some new tracks.....maybe next year.
You know that is but two weeks away!!
so right you are but i think I bought maybe 40 more hrs
40 hours is 8 five hour mows. Mow three times a year, and you're set until 2024.
