The carrier bug knows no national boundaries, and is not curable!

The tight track on your carrier will be due to rust in each link and pin. Note there are about 168 of them each side, so it doesn't take much in each link.

If you tow it around, carefully, much rust will wear away from them and the track will loosen off relatively fast. You may find some seized links which will not bend or fail to straighten out, but with care and a lot of effort they can be freed. Read thru the forum for the various methods used.

I had to fit two extra links just to join the ends on mine but it took about a kilometre to free up so that the track was slapping on the underneath of the guards. (Kiwi and OZ carriers have about 4 inches extra clearance under the guards!)

Best wishes on your new addiction.
