If you torch the oblong hole out of the center of the pads and make a set of snow pads out of them you will probably have better luck keeping them on even if they are well worn. There are some posts in the archives that show the holes for a guideline.

Will allow the snow that is building up inside the Rails to push out as the Track goes around the Sprocket and the Idler. The snow would no longer lift the Rail off the Idler, this will help in Dirt also.

If I ever get to the stage of getting my D2 going, the "first" thing I'm going to do is make sure I can wind back the idler for track refitment purposes!

looks like you where having lost of fun there. you should really cut some snow holes in the pads it will let you spend more time pushing and less time getting back on track.

Hi Dan,
you are lucky you have wide gauge unit or else you could have had your fuel transfer pump torn off by the track by now.
The pumps and the housing they mount to are hard to find down here in OZ for this reason.
I suggest you roughly make up something out of suitable sheet to help stop this happening. Does not have to be pretty just functional.
Cheers,
Eddie B.
