track tech
Hey Alex.
There is a seperate mould for both pin holes. The pin holes were cast in sand and placed on the alloy frame. Metal goes in, sand falls out, there's the hole.

I was just at my friends place and he has all his trackpads drilled over size .Made up oversize pins from cold rolled steel and harden them about 25ooo and is now assembling them If you harden them all the way they will brake NOTE if you take the pins out be sure to save the cast washers that will be put on the new pins .If you turn the sprocket backwards they will be like new unless they are badly worn .Friend Jim is going to rebuild a few sprockets .He does great work .There are two types of sprockets .One has a flange on each side ,the newer ones are flat on the sides from the top to bottom It will be almost impossible to get some one to do this unless you have a big checkbook

Hi George, it is not very expensive to get new sprockets profile cut then case hardened. You just need to put it on CAD for them. I would estimate around $500 a pair. To save on material you could also segment them in Halves or thirds. That would save a lot of waste from the centre.
Colin!

Good sujestion I have done Caterpillar crawler tractors under carriage and they had sections to replace the old ones. With so much interest in these carriers I can see where someone will be making them

George your right, this issue is clearly in the back of all our minds, as time goes on less and less usable sections of track will be obtainable, those that are will be held ransome by the few that get theyre hands on them. it would be good if we could trace factory workers from the period who could go through the production process step by step. I need to sleep with someone at Staman methinks
 get them to make a production run of tracks..
