[Reproducing Track Bands]

Did you have to make some new clips for over the outer belt ? ?

Yes, I staggered my joints over different grousers, and never had a problem.

[Track Band belting thickness]

I used 7/8" thickness for the inner and 1/2" for the outer.   

Seemed to work fine.

I brought both of mine out of the barn and into the shop.

The company that has the molds for the boogie wheels is

Not sure what the price would be now.

Here are the boogie wheels we had professionally cast.

[Making Tracks...]

I still have my two T-15's that I need bands for.

Will keep in touch.

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.

 

[T-15's]

Looks typical for a T-15. 

This is machine # 708 ? ? 

I have two, but hung up on the tracks.
