I obviously don’t have the correct name for them , but I’m referring to the thing that ties the axles together.

Axle straps?? I am pretty sure that Pdugas means track rails to tie axle extensions together to mount tracks on his Max iv. Pretty sure that Delduck had them made in a local machine shop.

Yes sir I had mine made and it helped the wallet out. The broken chains and axles were getting old

I have center to center numbers and will take pictures next week. Leaving tomorrow to see if I can convince a fish to jump on the boat for the weekend. Front to middle is 30.000 And middle to rear is 28.125

Straps

Trying to post pic of straps

This photo was shared with me a while ago when I kept breaking things. When I shared the pics of my machine they all told me what I was missing!!!!! THE STRAPS so I couldn’t find them anywhere to buy so had my local machine shop make them. I brought him a bearing cage with a broken axle in it and the center to center measurements and we built mine a bit more heavier than the factory’s. The factory’s from what I’m told were made out of the same gauge steel as the frame, or close to it. The picture that I posted came from a member named wedge who is no longer with this forum, but it’s important for me to let anyone learning from this post that wedge and a couple others like Jim, gave me a world of knowledge on this machine. I broke it and they pointed me in the right direction to fix it. Hope this helps and I hope wedge doesn’t get mad for me posting his pic, but I’m shure he would help anyone too so that’s why I posted it. Next week I post my machines strap.
