T-20 Skidsteer won't come apart..

I'm not sure what the person who adjusted this thing was thinking. They must have turned green, and grabbed a bigger wrench! I guess I shouldn't complain. If it was perfect, I am sure it wouldn't have been so cheap. I will call Alabama Bands tomorrow.

Called Alabama Bands this morning. Great people. Knew exactly what I had, and what needed to be done. The shop foreman said he would take the twist out of them. Heading to the post office after I finish this post. They are heading to BAMA.

That was quick. Man, you weren't kidding about the twist. I pictures something much less exaggerated.

i have a set that was just about as bad. i straightened them as best i could, but Alabama Bands said they would take care of the rest. they go in the mail tomorrow. once they get back, the Wild Wolf rebuild of last summer will be complete

Almost got my bands back. They tried to deliver them COD, UPS. I explained to one of the ladies that I would be out of town for awhile and to please contact me before shipping. I guess she thought it would be ok to ship anyway. I just came out of the mountains from an elk hunt to a voice mail from them saying UPS had returned them as not deliverable. Oh well, I will need to straighten it out Tuesday.

I WAS WONDERING WHAT Alabama Bands WAS CHARGING PER BAND FOR RELINING. I KNOW I PAID $ 110 A PIECE FROM RICHARD RELIC BUT IF I REMEMBER CORRECT YOU GET BACK $40 EACH IF BANDS ARE REUSEABLE .

mine came to $134.69 to reline 4 bands (including shipping) and should be here on Tuesday. I will post pics and thickness measurements when they get here. it is WAY cheaper than new, or relined ones from Richard, but it does take longer. you send yours in, they strip and reline them, and send them back. Tuesday will be 3 weeks since i sent them out

It was linked to a couple of post back: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/trans...html#post65634

That thread says $25 a piece plus shipping. Supposedly that is where Richard Relic gets his done at but I don't know if that is true or not?

UPS left notes on my door. COD will be $156.20. Not even for sure if this is all four bands until I have them in my hands. I am not sure if they are open on Labor Day, but I am going to try. $156.20 still sounds better than $400.00. Hopefully I can still get them this week. I will post progress.

Bands came in today from Alabama Bands. They look good to me. They came neatly packaged in four boxes. I would be glad to post the after pics if anyone is interested. Very helpful people. Final cost $156.20 shipped.

Please mic them and post the numbers. Uncle Vin

Sorry about taking so long to respond. I will post pics and thickness tomorrow.

Bands are at .103. Looks pretty consistent all around. I am going to try to assemble transmission this weekend.

Ok. Now measure just the metal thickness and tell us that. R.I. made a change to the metal thickness some time ago so I am trying to get a baseline as to the friction material thickness.

Thanks Mark

.065 thick on the band metal.
