Hello Steve nice work but they seem kind of tinny that is a lot of machine work and being so small hard to hold. Are you going to bush them? Keep up the good work. Ed

Ed they're .75" pitch yes all pins and bushings just like a real 1 . In the1st & last pics , you see (barely) .375" bushing pressed into the rails on 1 end . the 2nd pic you see a .25" pin pressed into the master link half . I still have 2 setups to do on the pads yet then a little forming for the curl under pat of them in front of the grouser bar . The pads scale to just under 2.25" wide so I just used 2.25 . the links are going to take me a week to get completely done . Then to press all of it together

Keep going at it. Hopefully you can get it somewhat working.
That teebar would have hard spots in it from it being formed. Maybe you should
have heated them red orange to anneal them first.

well It gave my dull end mills something to die for I couldn't decide rather to have them resharpened or scrap them . I got the plate for the links but the 1st op will take the whole table . If things go well I may be able to sneak them in before wheel jig up time ( not looking good though ) I have a torch but MY dad has the O&A

Hey Steve, have you considered using a ceramic kiln for heat treat, that's how my neighbors do axles and stuff. Like the progress!

Hi steve-I have looked at these pictures a lot but I DO NOT understand what is the purpose of the "little pointy thingies" on the track rails. Please explain.

Haha you are totally right Steve. My parents had a xmas party and we started talking about logging equipment old and new. My Dads buddy, who has worked in the bush running equipment for over forty years called them a zipper link. My friend thats my age and has been a heavyduty mechanic for fifteen years or more said that Cat called them something(I forget what but it was something special being Cat) and he had never heard of them being called a zipper link. Two different generations from the same place can't even agree. Too funny! Looks like a master link to me, just different.lol

Yes steve-that is the part I was looking at. My eyes are so bad I cannot see the link in the small picture but that is okay,at least now I know what it is. Maybe when your tracks are finished you can post a close-up picture. You are doing great work!!
