Worn Rails

I'd say the previous owner got his money out of that tractor.

Those are pretty bad but I've seen worse. Seen some where the pin bosses were worn clear into the pins and developing a wear pattern on the back side of the grousers. Maybe they did the torch job on the roller flanges on this one🙄 🙄

Well the roller flanges are pretty much non existent...

If there are teeth still on the sprocket, they must still be good! Its when the teeth are so worn off that you need to tighten the track as tight as possible.
Then and only then are they declared worn out!

🙄

Just being Sarcastic!

😄

Seriously, I have seen them worn down like that!!!

I should have taken picture of the neighbors 7U D4. The sprockets were worn so bad that the teeth were almost flat with the rim. They had welded rebar on the bumps to try and keep the sprocket from slipping in the rails. All three of the L or PL Twentys that I have had, have had bad rails and rollers under them. One had a roller that had gutted it's self and had no flanges left on it. Three tractors and I do not have enough good parts to put one together.

I saw this D7 a few years ago. The bushings were worn through and only existed at the edge of the rail. Here's the sprocket.

Yeah, those rails look pretty thin but the sprockets don't look bad. ....and I notice they have the old "plug" master pin. I haven't seen one of those old master pins in years.

Makes me think twice about reaching up under the grouser to feel the pins. At least without looking first... Might take some hide off my hand if they're worn like that.. haha
