Laser cut plates to go on outer band for Type 3 track.

PHOTO 2:
The photo shows the splice area where the outer bands are
overlapped and the inner bands are butted up on the same grouser
plate. The Type 2 track is shown with the plates being used on
the outer bands. |
PHOTO 3:
The Type 2 cross bars are zinc plated, the Type 3 cross bars are
powder coated black. Shown in the picture is a totally rebuilt
Type 2 track, with 56 grouser plates on the 2-1/4" - 4-1/2"
grouser pitch. |

PHOTO 4:
In this picture, we are using standard hex bolt heads that do touch the edge of the drive sprocket. A button headed bolt will give a little more
clearance. As of March 10, 2005, I have put about 50 miles on this track, and I am very well pleased. Runs smooth, with very little snow buildup. |
PHOTO 5:
The best way that I found to splice a completely "broken" track,
using 2 ratcheting straps to suck the two parts together.

I wanted to send you some pictures of the new inner and outer bands on the tracks I bought from you a while back.
They have been on the weasel for about a year now or so, and the are holding up great. Didn’t drove a whole lot of miles, but playing a little with it,
sharp corners, no problems… great machine.
I made a little compilation on YouTube about the restoration of my weasel.
