That track was used until about 1995-1996. Not sure on when it started. Friend had a mid 80s buffalo truck with them. When loaded heavy we had breakage of the aluminum guide bars and had trouble getting more in later years. I'm running the remains of them on a trailer. Nice lite track should work well on a II or IV not loaded to heavy. The beveled angle goes in.
Thanks! That makes total sense because the machine is a 1993ish and was bought buy a power plant company that used it to drive power-line roads. They bought all of the accessories available. I don't plan on hulling any heavy loads, I'll just be buzzing around my land in it so hopefully they will last. If not o-well I guess. I'll definitely put the beveled side in, thanks.Originally Posted by msafi65
So the aluminum actually broke?
Yes the center piece would break and then the rivits and cross bar would work loose. Buffalo truck can be loaded very heavy and was pretty rough ground. Snow or soft ground should be ok. Idd start with about 6 psi tire pressure with them. You will hear the guides trying to walk up the tires if pressure is to low. Dosent look like they have been fun very much from your pics.
looks like all the rubber belting is in good shape. if you pop a rivet just replace with a bolt and fender washers and lock nuts. if you break a guide, should be able to fabricate a better steel replacement if you weld. they look to be worth keeping usable. j.b.
Yeah they seem easy to work on and replace parts. Thanks
