I decided to put the tracks back on and discovered a bad bearing, hence the two hour job. However, I figured that the bearing extensions would be a good upgrade because of the tracks. This turned into a bit of a nightmare. It also ended up that when all said and done the extensions are on, along with five more new bearings, couple of seals, center axle on one side had a bad bearing. Being retired I should have had the job done in a couple of days but being retired I couldn't seem to find the time. Any one who is retired can relate to that one.
    Got to say Laird it takes commitment to work on these machines nothing much is easy and i hear ya on the retired thing i have zero clue how i found the time to work and still found time to cottage/aatv/sled/play with classic cars and the honey do list seemed easy at the time now the days fly past thats some good work u have done there and not easy by any means congrats.NCT

    Not having to care about the ruts sounds great. And yea that would be a bit of work for installing tracks for sure. Air tools are beautiful things
