Lang and Rick, thanks for that info. Had never seen one before.
Rick's explanation of how the system works was most helpful, and helps me understand how it all works, as the drive sprocket and front idler seem to be bolted to the frame. I see now the triangular bit is pivoted to keep track on the ground.
How do you like the track auto-tensioning system? That's some spring.
Will pass the photo's on to the restoration gang. They started with a rusty relic, and had very little to go on.
If you watch the 3 minute video, it has a close-up of the track in motion. It's quite a sight to see it all moving.
