Default More Suggestions

Hi Ryan - firstly the seized track. Depending on how much room you have on your property, you could dig a tranch to accomodate the track. Line the trench with heavy duty plastic sheeting and then immerse the track in the molasses solution. Ensure the plastic wraps across the top of the solution to stop it evaporating. It would be better with the tracks off the tank but you could do the same if they were still fitted. You would need to dig the trenches underneath the tank and then lower it into the trench. This however would only do the lower portion of the tracks.

Secondly the rubber donuts. If you need new ones, the industrial rubber factory I get my Carrier wheels re-rubbered should be able to manufacture new ones providing they obtain a template. The only problem I envisage is whether the donuts were inserted between the links when the tracks were assembled or whether they could be inserted after market.

Bob
