I'm not sure I understand you when you say you turned the tracks around. Do you mean you had the pins and bushings turned? That should give you another couple thousand hours service on a dry track. The other factors are the depth of the rails on the chain, and the amount of wear on the idlers. If the chain rails are worn down a lot, then it has the effect of creating a larger circumference to the chain. In effect, it acts as if the chain was stretched more than it really is. The reduced diameter of the idlers will cause the same. Adding a 1/4" diameter to the idlers will add a lot of adjustment to the track. Like the other post said, it would probably be best to go throught the cariadge and do the idlers, track frame rollers and carriers along with the drive sprokets and the chains..... but I doubt you want to pour 20 grand into the old girl....
So measure the chain rails for their depth relative to their wear limit, along with the idlers. That will probably be your biggest gain. The dealer can easily give you those specs. I would expect the idler radius weld to run you about a grand. Talk to your dealer who can recomend a qualified shop to do that work. That welding is not done freehand, but on a radius welding machine for best results. Good luck. Rod

They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
