That track looks very close-close enough I would run it and "exact looks" be danged!Yeah, with all the rubber track manufacturers in the world building tracks for 7 gazillian different rubber track excavators and other machines I think copying/building these would not be that dang hard.The half...

Too bad the tracks for these are SOOOOOO rare,it would be fun to repro-fab a trailer out of spare frames and pieces.Looks to be fairly simple using available parts but any spare tracks (in the world-if you could find any,anywhere---) would likely be used on a powered machine----

WOW! Thanks for posting the pic Catman! Must say that is a first for me!!Never seen or heard mention of a trailer built by the Company but one never knows! First guess would be field mod--but---why? Second thought is---:wink:

Be sure to look at your track guides. I found some that had been "folded" over.Much easier to fix lying flat on the ground while being held up by the rack.I really doubt I could have had ANY luck doing what I did to fix it if it was installed on the machine.There simply would not be room to...

Yep, stole the idea from that same photo:-D.Saw that in my "Highspeed tractor" book by David Doyle.I was thinking of copying that exact design but for the front loader trick I found I did not need to be so elaborate. Spring compressor is pipe or tubing 1 and 15/16 OD and 1 and1/2 ID. 1 and...

I leveled the dirt under the road wheels and put down some ply wood so the track would not "dig in" as I pushed it into position.One thing here--I was not on very level ground and fought a lot harder because of that. Level for both the Cletrac AND the front loader tractor makes alignment MUCH...

Then use studs and spacers at the top of the road wheel springs, compress (lift) both sets of bogie springs so as to get maximum clearance so you have enough "slack" to get the track on.The maintenance manual (Jensales repro) shows the proper procedure.It's best to compress the supension before...

The GF spent lots of time on her computer organizing all her pics---now I have a heck of a time finding anything LOL.BUT I will try. The GF and any available offspring were NOT available to help with the track install. So I just went into HERMIT mode--figure out how to do it solo. Had an...

Saw your post on these a while back. Been busy with work and winter so have not had much time to chime in here. Congrats on the "Army Cat(s)".This is what my brother and I called our Cletrac M2 when we were kids growing up on the place here.My Dad was Army Air Corp in WWII and used these on the...
