O.K., Only Had time to take tracks off tonight and measure circumference of each tire. still have 5lb on left side, 3lb on right side.
Right rear to front / left rear to front
69.75 --------------- 71.5
70.75 ----------------- 71.75
70 --------------------- 71.625
70 -------------------- 71.75
My plan is to take left side down to approx.3lb, get all tires of same circumf. and take her for a rip.after all that rain I won't need tracks once it freezes back up but I will get it running straight with tires then put tracks back on with one side turned around.I read my manual the other night and found the part where it talked about putting bows opposite.I scanned two pages and tried to post them but no luck.Resized them as much as possible.
Hi, I just installed rubber tracks on my 97 conquest. Tire size is critical I have 8 22inch runamucks for track use I measured the tire diameters and they rainged from 68 1/2 to 73 inches. There is not much quality control in the manufacture of these tires. Check the verticle transmission chains if one side is slack it could cause the argo the drift to one side. Hope this helps. paul
my 01 bigfoot pulls more to the left I am always correcting but it does get better if air is all good and chains are adjusted and try sitting in different parts of the seat. At one point it was terrible but I had a low tire and some loose chains after adjustment it was way better, also I just put the tracks on for the season and ran 24 miles it still pulled left but much much less. I did measure tires and adjust air also that was the first run on new idle bearings and chain. hope that helps
Thanks guys, my idler chains do not adjust on each side only in the middle. I have noticed at some times one side a little dif. from the other, this may very well have something to do with it. At some point I am going to change to 2 adjusters, it doesn't look like a big deal to do, just time.No change when adjusting seat posistion.All bearings are new (aprox. 15 hrs. now) but not chains.
When I took tracks off to measure wheels I noticed the track logo was the same location on each side, this means it was like having two right shoes on. Going to turn left side around.Took it for a drive without tracks and put all tires at 3lb. and still pulling left just not as bad. Now put 4lb in left and seems to run fairly straight. I might be putting tracks on today,if I do i'll keep you posted.
OK ,put tracks on with logos opposite one another 5lb of air on each side and she ran straight as you could get On the way to camp there was a maple blowdown about 8" at butt frozen in the snow. I hooked my tow strap on it, wondering if it would come out or snap the rope,put in low range and eased it ahead and without any spinning she popped it right out with ease. That's easy firewood.
