    More shenanigans in the shop with MBTS, and hoping these tracks will work.

    Thomas is right about military track changes. They just disconnect the old tracks, lay the new ones out on the ground connected to the old and drive from one track to the other. It's a slick operation.

  • @thomasdesmond2248
    @thomasdesmond2248 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Mike you should check out how the military puts tracks back on a tank in the field. Would work well for you. Although you guy do pretty good. Just thinking of an easier way. God bless

    When you expand the shop consider adding tie down points in the floor similar to what frame shops use to tie to, winch off of etc. Also consider looking at Ron Pratt's You Tube channel re using one of the winch's on your trucks to do side or angular pulls. Allowing you to position a truck where you need to to winch from inside or outside the shop.

    Normal blokes that fit tracks, generally wrap a rope or chain around the final drive and use that to pull the track on and it all lines up easier, but I suppose you guys like to do things the hard way !! 🤗

    • @willenenable5149
      @willenenable5149 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@young11984 doesn't matter what position the machine or tractor is in, as you feed the rope or chain along underneath the bottom rollers or road wheels, then come around the idler wheel, across the top rollers and then wrap the rope around the final drive hub, start the machine up and engage the final drive and pull the track back onto the machine.
      The hardest part can be fitting the link pin in !!
      EASY PEASY !!!!! 🤗

    That was a score on those rails & pads. Look like heavy-duty grousers too. Now here’s the plan: Bang your old shoes off your scrap rails. Get some weld-on grouser bar. Make MBTS, Captain Kleeman, and NYA Milennial spend a few days cutting and welding on those pads to bring ‘em back to new specs. It will (in theory) keep those three out of trouble for a few days AND when the time comes for new rails you can watch Todd’s face when you tell him that you won’t be needing any new shoes. That’s a Win-Win!

    Mike, you said recently that you were doing shop work because it was too wet to work out side ,we`ve had some bad weather over here to, heavy rain showers and winds gusting to 50/60 mph. So I called on my 83yrs old neighbour to see if she needed anything from the superstore..............she did.............................so I gave her my list.....................no point in both of us going out in such terrible weather. Oh! the video, 👍👍👍

  • @notyou6950
    @notyou6950 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I was under the impression that you do one track at a time. That way you can still move the dozer to make it easier. Super important if it is sitting on a grade.

    As they wear out into the pins and bushings, I think about some poor slob that is just getting by with a machine that has three times the hours on it and could swap with you to get another three years of bumping rocks and stumps on his place.... meaning you could put the old ones on market place and some other guy get the last of the good left out of them as well. You and Aaron are a great team as it always shows
