New UCW project

[Petr Brezina]

My New Year's workout
Tracks need to be shorten, so I started with one side. Even with my primitive fixture it went pretty well. Now it looks proper on the driver's side, the second is waiting

Hi Petr, just in case you don't already know, the track is normally broken between the sprocket and the rear bogie

[Petr Brezina]

Hi Lynn, yes, Im aware of this standard procedure, but my "redneck" style works pretty well and I think its even better when you are doing it alone.

Just trying to help Petr.
Is the handle for your snail tool original? If so, how long is it?
I have the snail but wondered about the standard handle length.

[Petr Brezina]

i know, thanks! No its not genuine, I did it from mild steel bar just to fit to the rear plate holder.
