I thought Scott was going to do for you but the majority group of Massholes have penetrated your border all the way to Manchester. They are pushing on to the Concord as we speak!

Swapped some rollers thanks to some friends.. Never thought I would say greasing the tracks is easy. They are coming off everytime going forwAed!

what do you think about the dewalt grease gun we just bought a lincoln for the shop I have been resisting one for my self because they use different batterys. does the dewalt have a high low pressure setting? I found my pneumatics don't work track adjusters well.

you must really love your tucker !!! what does your wife have to say about this affair ???

 

[jask]

I might need to use that picture for Valentines day!!

 

[Track Addict]

Just so happens Valentine's is my birthday day. The dewalt gun is awsome. Having lots of 18v dewalts makes it easy. Primes quick only used 2.5 tubes compare to 4 billion in pneumatics . They make. 20 Volt also.

Great investment

Winter is here in New Hampshire. Rode a different cat today. A wild one

Could you explain your painting process? Is it just spray? Do you prime. Degrease? Etc.

 

[Track Addict]

Lots of cleaning degreasing. Final wipe with sem then rust oleum self etching primer. Then spray bomb with tractor supply ac Orange.

Definitely much better paint quality and options out there. For my purposes it works but the paint is not as glossy as I would like. Nothing like the professional jobs coming out of Tuckerville. Check out their threads they can paint.

Back on track. Was able to take all the slack out of the adjusters and bend the random bent links straight again. Removed a grouser and with all the wear over the years I am down to 30 bearing grousers instead of the 31. Turns smooth adustment is mint and now have plenty of room for future adjustment.

 

[denmark219]

Are your pontoons steel or fiberglass?

 

[denmark219]

Sorry for the ignorant questions. #newbie

Drove around a bit. Boy does it feel good and tight. Clutch silky smooth purring like a snow kitten!

Nothing left that would keep me off the snow. Feels good!

 

[jask]

I bet that feels good! Congatulations. how about you repost a few of the early pics along with the new ones... remind us what you started with

 

[muleman]

Looks great! If you don't get any snow just take a trip over to the Tug hills in NY. They are getting plenty to play in.

 

[Track Addict]

This is how we started with the idea to leave it as is. Guess I was wrong!
