I saw a few different casting letters and marks on these tracks that i have not seen on Ford track. Could it be the Swiss made their molds from existing Canadian or British track?

I have not knocked the pin end cap off the T-16 to see what holds it on. I assume underneath it is the track pins with the cotter pin hole that we procure from the US. I guess I could (and will) pop that one pin back through that has worked part way through and see what is in there.

When I get back to work, I'll get some better shots of the various cast marks on the swiss track.


Just guessing here, but could it be that the swiss wanted a better system of end caps than the British/Canadian track used. They may have narrowed the track to accommodate for the thicker end cap. There is not a lot of room to spare around the fenders...I have seen front fender skirts that show wear from the track rubbing on them.
