Hey All:
We got some new snow in Northern Colorado last week, so I took the kids out in my 1967 TracMaster (aka RoJo) up around Steamboat lake, had a great time...until we got back to the trailhead, and some cretin had blocked the way with his truck.
So, I tried to go around thru some trees (too tight), and lost a track...started losing daylight so I came back the next day and ended up having to haul it out with my tractor. Eventually one track split, the other completely off.
I'm trying to look at the silver lining -- it was probably about time for new tracks (and at least I was able to haul it out myself).
But I wanted to ask some of the SnowTrac veterans if there's an easy way to get a slipped track back on in the field -- I tried a come-along, winch, swearing -- couldn't get it.
