Tucker hybid track parts

[Phil705]

I have a Tucker 1972 543A that has some sort of hybrid track system installed (at least that is what I have been told). I have some broken grousers and tire guides that need to be replaced, and they are not repairable or weldable. A local welder will make some new ones, but at a huge cost as he has to make a jig first. Does anyone know where I can get some used parts, or a lead on who might know??

Photo attached. The distance between the bolt holes on the tire guide is 13 1/2 inches.


thanks

I'd guess that you've got some kind of third-party tracks on your 543. I've seen lots of Tuckers and as far as I know they've never built any grousers that used a separate tire guide.

There was a company that made a rubber track conversion for the older pontoon/ladder track Tuckers (which based on its model number, yours had when it was new). There was the word Sierra in the name as I recall.

Could you post some photos of the track system?

Thanks, I'll post some more pictures.

There's some pictures of what might be the Sierra track system at the bottom of this thread:

Attached are some additional photos of my hybrid Tucker tracks. I think they are different from any I saw on the earlier compilation of Tucker tracks. Still hoping for anyone to tell me the origin and if there are any other in the world for cannibalism.
