This is Tom @ Snake River 4x4
Due to my wife's and my health, I have retired.
I was involved in the potato industry where we used a lot of belting and had the local suppliers and expertise.
It was easy to do the Type 2 outer bands as they were set on 1 1/4" - 32 mm setting, which we could do on a machine.
The Type 3 outer belts had to be done all my hand. We did try a water jet, but ended up blowing the plies of the belting apart.
Very labor intensive, and costs kept going up. The cross plates on the Type 3 outer bands I had manufactured locally.
I will gladly share my limited knowledge to further the project.
I have a M29-C and two T-15's that need tracks.
