Homemade Tracks for MaxII

[Eldon]

It would be pointless though to approach them about making a top for a Max unless they have disassociated themselves with RI and even then they probably wouldn't do an order on a custom basis.I know those who make the tracks won't.

Would you be kind enough to post photos of how you attached your belting to the tire chains in your track design? I am having a very hard time getting my Max around feeding this winter and would like to build a set like you have. Did you simply wrap the belting around the chain (my belting my be too thick) and rivet it or do you have some type of fastener? Also, how thick is the belting you are using? Mine belting is easily available here but it is pretty thick (but tuff) stuff. Thanks so much.

Hey guys with the homemade snowmobile tracks. Can ya'll post some close up pictures of the splices and a brief description. I am ready to cut my tracks and having issues on how I want to splice them.

Check out this site for splice tracks. I just remebered when a I was a teen I worked in a gravel pit and they spliced belts with flexco fastners. Flexco - Conveyor Belt Fasteners and Conveyor Maintenance Solutions

Anyone know what size chains were used to make the amphicat tracks. they do not look that heavy but can not tell by the pictures. When i measured for the chain i taped a string around the tire where i wanted the tracks to ride and end to end i came up with 11ft 10 inches. so i figure ill get 50 ft of chain and cut it into 4 equal lenths. Then size to fit later when pads are installed.
