Hi all, Richard I do enjoy doing this sort of work. Sorry for the lack of pics lately but one of my kids had my camera and just seemed to forget where they used it. All good now I got it back.
Front idler wheels on.
Cross shaft in.
Cam assembly refurbed and installed.
Single wheel stations refurbed and ready for installation.
Springs for above ready for assembly.

Hi all, fitting the single wheel stations and assembly of the springs. Having a spring compressor eliminated the possibility of death or serious injury as these are under immense pressure during assembly. I have done it before without a compressor but it's scary.

And in. Looking at a few photo's looks like a half hour job but this is all day from 7.30 this morning. But I'm sure we all know there's no such thing as a 5 minute job.

Certainly helps to be able to work on these machines upside down. I would say these tracks have done no miles at all.
