Hello everybody! I'm from Germany and I also own a Weasel M29 10XXX We have also had the "Staman rubber chains" for about 2 years. After we installed it, there are problems with the front axle for the second time. The originally "thinner" axle was exchanged for a reinforced, thicker hollow axle with greater wall thickness when the chain was changed from the original to rubber. This first built-in axle was bent on the right side (motor) after about 5 hours of driving! When removing and changing this axle, the "carrier arm" also located at the front right was renewed because it was also a bit bent! Now we have made a test drive with the new reinforced axle (light terrain with a little mud, approx. 3 km) and the new axle is bent again! This time stronger on the left side, but also a bit on the right side! What are we doing wrong? An operator error? In this thread I read to fill out the axis with solid material? Do you relate to the original Weasel tracks? Our "new" interchangeable axle made from a replica was already significantly larger in wall thickness! (When buying the rubber track, we were advised to use these reinforced axles from reproduction, as the rubber tracks are more stressed than the original chains! The curvature of the axle towards the rear of the vehicle always begins roughly in the flange, or when the axle emerges from the bottle from the frame! On the front you can always see a gap between the "carrier arm" and the flange, which then gets bigger and bigger at the front! It would be great to have help from you guys. We haven't had the weasel for a very long time and have little experience, and the scene in Germany is very small. can it also be a problem with the frame of the weasel? But was everything correct with the newly installed axle and was everything in order immediately after the measurement? What are we doing wrong? Can someone give us some advice? Are we thinking about making a completely new (massive) axle? We are grateful for any help. Greetings from the Rhineland Roland
