Need a track adjusting tool for steel Tucker tracks on my Kitten. Need to do a more consistant job than the hammer does.

You had a thread about a similar topic a while back.

I'm guessing that you still have not resolved this? Is there any way you can fabricate the tool you need? Or can you design it and maybe one of us here can fabricate it for you?

I know with Snow Tracs we have a problem with the bogie wheels and Villi posted photos of a tool that I then duplicated for my own use. I also made one for another member (Snowcat Operations). Later on, Mith made one in England for Ice Queen. The key was designing it in the first place. I know I made my tools out of scrap metal and it only took a few minutes to weld them up. If you can design it, someone can probably make it!

The Adjusting tool is quite easy to make. You just need a picture of one to get the basic idea of how to fab it up. A piece of 'Flat Bar' 3/8 to 1/2 and inch thick, by 2 inches wide by 4 to 6 inches long. Weld this on to a piece of one inch pipe, lengthwise. Now grind or cut a slot in the flat bar that is the thickness of the sides of the lincs, about 3/16 or an inch. Not much to it. The piece of 1 Inch pipe should be at least 4 or 5 foot long to provide enough leverage.
