Parking up your carrier
Hello Phil,
In amswer to your question regarding parking up a carrier for a length of time, what I always do is jack up the hull and place it on blocks,then break the track and run off the top run of track to take the weight of the track off the roller and the front idler wheel,and make sure that the track on the floor does not have the weight of the wheels and suspension wheels bearing onto it, the idea behind this is if you have good rubber or new rubber on your wheels over a length of time the weight of the hull will press the tracks into the rubber,this will spoil the look of good wheels and also shorten the life of them,and take the weight off the suspension springs, its not a big job really and if you have a track winch fitting the track back on is easy,then just jack up the carrier a couple more inches remove the blocks lower the carrier back to the floor,I have a concrete floor start her up and let the fun begin,
Well this works for me. Regards Ron
