Kato HD900 Track Pins / Bushes replacable?

Glen Wallace ยท 2017-04-18 07:59

Need a quick answer as looking at buying machine tomorrow at auction. Are the track pins and bushes able to be replaced or fabricated and replaced in a late 80's Kato HD900 ? The bushes have worn down to the pins but im unsure if i need to replace the entire chain link or if the bushes and pins can be replace even if they had to be fabricated at a machine shop? One of the chan links is flogged out where the pin presses in. Only one side of the machine is bad, the other is like new! Looking for a cheap fix. Im mechanically handy. Machine will be used in demolition of houses etc. Not a lot of travelling etc. Kind Regards Glen

    Is it one link that is bad or the whole chain

    Whats your location Glen. I know some track shops that could help.

    It is the whole chain, only one side of the machine.

    Dealing with RD Williams. Whilst everyone else have fobbed me off, they have been very helpfull and have located a new track chain for a reasonable price
