Built this out of old ford car jack. It's made buy the same company as the track jack only it has a hook to catch the bumper edge. I could of just cut that hook off but I didn't want to spoil a good car jack. Now I can use it for both. It works very good as long as you slack off the track adjusting wheel first, then it is very easy to join up the track. The handle part takes both a round or flat handle. The casting no.s and the name are the same as the track jack only the part no. is different.

Speaking of rare carrier tools. I have one so rare its not even in the manuals. Ive never needed but it may come in handy for some. What im talking about is the hand pump for the air in the road wheels. I should clean it up a bit and take a picture to show you guys.

Hello, I mount the tracks without a Jack, just as in the british manual, a small block of wood behind a wheel, put the track on the sprocket and turning the sprocket with the starter does the work.
