These were thought up, and brought to my attention by a friend. The intent is to get better traction on hard packed snow while running Plastic Supertracks.
As you know, Supertracks have holes in them made for mounting some type of traction enhancers, so:
Take a length of V-Belt, and tie 2 or 3 knots in the middle, spaced out a bit (maybe 3" or so), lay that across the track pad, and feed each end through one track hole. Pull it snug and knot the belt inside the track to hold it.
We use many different sizes and styles of V-Belt at work, so I can probably get as many miles of it as I want. It's strong, flexable, and if it was ever a problem one quick slash with a sharp knife would have them off in no time.
Hockey Pucks.......
Cut them in half, so you have matching sets of half moons. Drill through them, and mount one half inside and the other half outside the track. Counter-sink the one on the outside, so your mounting hardwhare is not going to rub up under the tub. The rubber puck bumping into the tub would not cause any issues, but should give a bit of a bite in hard packed snow............just thought to myself that pieces of UHMW plastic would work in a similar way
Anyway, just tossing ideas around
.
Right now I'm planning to run some lengths of chain across the face of my rubber tracks to help with this, but that would have to include putting UHMW Plastic sliders up under the fenders, like I did with my other Conquest when I put the 3/8"x 1.5" bolts through the track holes (which is working very well, actually)
