Another thing I just learned about tracks

Post by ggfossen » Wed Oct 12, 2005 8:12 pm

I just mounted my 350 chain on my 420. It fits well, but I foolishly tried to hammer home the pin with no track pads install. Most of you probably know better, and I probably should have, but I didn't, and I obviously didn't bother to think it through before I did it.

For those of you who don't know, the links will try to spread thereby causing the pin to enter the opposing hole at an angle, and binding things in good order.

I took me easily an extra hour, and a fair amount of cussing, to get it back where it belonged.

The good news is that the track seems to ride well on the old rollers.
