Hi, I'm looking to purchase a track jack or other tool to make repairs on the tracks. A tool to bring the two ends together to splice it. I saw one in a photo taken for the "get it home kit" on safety one's web site. They wanted $550.00 for the kit. They don't sell it separately.

I'll send you a picture of a home-made job that came with my Tucker. Should be posted tomorrow. It works!

A come-a-long works really well and is a lot cheaper, besides they can help pull you out of a hole too... They make a rope-a-long that is pretty nice and you can have a longer rope for othe options.

I think SnoOps may have set him up with one of the many track jacks he got out of his CDF rig.

Pics of home-made track jacks

Here are some shots of the track jack that came with my Tucker. It was made by Roy Meyer of Mazama Washington. He welded a 1/2 inch socket at the end of the screw, and it works with a standard socket wrench.

Yes, I got sno ops last message. He is going to send a picture of the track jackto me. Nice pics Phil, that is exactly what I'm looking for. Sno ops might be able to hook me up with one. I was also looking a farm hi lift jack to. I was going to turn it side ways and make a couple of clamps to bolt to the hilift jack. Thanks guys.
