Default Re: First build ,cat D11

This is just a somewhat protective cover for the sprocket, and it supports the shafts bearing on the final drive sprocket. I'm trying to make this beefy and not sure of what's to come in the future. That's why I've left some of the parts unfinished as I might need some for something els.

Too bad my stupid cat doesn't like it!! He doesn't know but I'm going to run his little puffy tail over!!!


Boy what a P.I.T.A. getting the tracks bolted together. I made a master link similar to cats but I may switch to just a pin. And I need to remove one link. It was very hard for me to precisely measure for how many links and what tension spring, length of track carrage so I just ended up with what it is. Can remove a link and remove some material on carriage if needed. I would like to have as little of the track tensioner shaft out as possible.
