So I have a T16, and the previous owner removed (cut) all the track pins out and I got a pile of links.

Pins are chromoly steel I think, if you do a search there has been discussions about them,,,, don't be tempted to use stainless.

The pins are a hardened tool steel pin at 52 RC if you want to tighten up your old worn track, ream the track holes to 12m.m. and have new pins made to 12 m.m. ? Brand new Track! and no hassel of looking for track

I have made a few using 4140 steel shaft.
(Manawatu boys told me this years ago). I knocked a pair of these pins out at the Wairarapa Airshow last month to adjust the brakes. They were fitted probably 10 years ago, and have worked fine to date. Note these are for a LP2, so are plain shaft with lead plug retainers. Rivetted pins will need heads welded on as described above. Another long time carrier owner from the Manawatu told me of trying to ream out track to 12 mm diameter, and how hard the links were. Maybe just fitting new pins will make an old track serviceable? I have seen pins worn with a stepped shape, so new pins will take up a lot of slack when multiplied by 168 (or 176 on an LP2) Rob |

Sorry wrong mm should have been 12 MM
the difference is only.035 in which will not weaken the track and will still steer that is on .016 thou per side which is 2 red hairs Not big deal the tracks are probably worn that much or more and you will have sufficent clearance for steering The track will still warp with a few thou clearance |
