Eventually we will have to look into getting links cast and pins fabricated. More Carriers emerge from the woods, literally, and are without tracks or have completely worn out tracks. Most of these woodlogging carriers were worked hard I imagine till some expensive or hard to find part finally gave in and then they were left to rot. I once looked at one of those and counted just 153 links in the tracks. That is 4 less then what the Army considered worn out!!

I use my carrier regularly and will wear out the tracks one day, same as most of us who use it as what it was made for and not as a static display piece...
With worn tracks it will end as just that!

Cheers,
