I don't know how everyone else puts their tracks on but this is how I do mine.
I lay my tracks out (176 links if new), push the carrier on top until the idler wheel is about 1/2 mtr in from the end. As you can see in the Pic, I use a chain and thread a link pin through and secure the chain over the idler andall the way back to my fork,(car, truck, bus, tractor, train, or whatever you have) then simply tow back until the carrier in in the correct position for the track winch to be put on.

Tracks on and just a few tidy up bits to do inside.

Two dogs and a seven year old boy. And here was I thinking you did all the work Mr Jones. No wonder you get so much done.

Jack, you've made a mistake. The animal in the second photo is a Clydesdale!

Hey Jack, don't tell everyone I use child and animal labour as I think it might be against the law
 Lynn, I use my big dog (Melvin) when my tractor won't start I only seem to get an hour here and there at the moment but any progress is good progress

Not much posting lately but I've still been busy doing other things as well as the carrier. I made a set of press tooling to do the ends of the fuel tanks as the last lot I did were hand formed which took so long. This can go on the shelf with all my other highly crafted
 and engineered dies .I'm pressing 16g or 1.6mm sheet which gave me a good form to work to.
