I managed to get the tracks on today with no one to help or get in the way. Just took some time. Pins are in the freezer. I will put them in tomorrow. Skinner
Looking good. You deserve a beer, perhaps 2 for that. I thought pins on those old ones were held tight with a cotter pin or roll pin. My bad.
Juiceman you are correct about the locking pins on each pin and bushing. But they are also press fit like later models. The engineers weren’t taking any chances on these early versions falling out.
Ahhhhh, see? I am learning. That's what I love about this forum. We can't wait to see the finished product. Thank you kind sir. JM
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
