Track Vibration

[mswyka]

While hardly pristine, I opted for one of the tracks that had all of its track clips.  It is now freshly studded and as soon as I can pick up a new bearing it should be going back in the sled.  The skid has been checked out and I am replacing the rear upper suspension mounting shaft. The shaft itself does not look bad, however the shape of the track loop is odd so I pulled another one.  So, with a new drive shaft, new suspension shaft, new bearing and new track, if the problem repeats itself i will at least know it is none of those things.

That should grip pretty good.

Picked up the new bearing tonight on the way home from my day job.  So new bearing, replacement drive shaft (used), replacement track (used), replacement rear mounting shaft (used) and a few other odds and ends have been installed so the sled is ready to test.  Only problem, I am going to need to wait until next season.  So this pair will be going into the machine shed tomorrow.

Sleds are away for the season and quietly snoozing. I couldn't help sharing the photo of the "pastural scene"

Well done!!  I put the 82 Intruder in it's summer resting spot today.
