Welcome to the forum!!

Here are a few pictures of the J5. The machine runs and drives, Generator/regulator is not working, I think the carb is not the right one and it won't idle. It appears the right track has newer grousers than the left: the bolts are bigger, 7/16?? vs 3/8 on the left. Also every grouser on the left is cracked where the sprocket drives them. Any success with welding them? Thanks in advance. JunkY

Welcome to forums forums JD! I'm glad you found us.
Good pics. Cool little machine for sure.
Is that other one a project one or a parts machine?

 

[Junkyard Dog]
