Nice work Stephen..... As Marc said earlier I can vouch for the ex log skidder carriers being worked to death as mine was one....160 links per side on mine but they a shot to bits... They lean heavily towards the diff, or did when they were last on, I am busy working with a local engineering firm to work around re using worn out track to see if we can build a sacrificial lug something along the lines of drilling out and tapping the original material then screwing in a sacrificial core for the pin to slide through....then when that wears out you just replace the cores. From the outside the track looks as it should... There are a plethora of hurdles to overcome though but the chap is a clever bloke so I am sure he will come up with something.
