Forum Members, Just returned from northern Minnesota. Weather has been unseasonably warm. While "up north" I worked on the HD3 Allis. With that there is good news and some questionable news. Brought up one of the new tracks recently purchased from Missouri. Good news they are the same width as the '65, 14 inches. Not so good news is the previous owner welded the master pins in place??? One will be easy to work with, welded a little on the outer edge.The other one is welded completely around on both ends. Any hints on removal; drill, grind, or razor blade(1/16th thick cutting blade. Another concern is rebuilding the track tightening yoke. I am not sure if the like new sprockets and tracks are going to fit the currently "frozen" track tightening situation. I would like to try to remove the yoke and try to loosen the frozen threads. It seems the only way to do this is to remove the idler. Am I seeing this right, remove the two end caps and slide the idler and then remove the yoke tightener? Another question, does anyone know how far the threaded part of the tightener threads into the yoke? This determines my thoughts on rebuilding the tightener. One more bit of good news, tried 18 volts on the starter and it worked great, started quickly. Any and all thoughts are welcome. Mr. T. Minnesota

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
