Hello again,
After fixing a lot of little items pertaining to the track system, I had the Spryte up on cinder blocks so the tracks could hang freely. I adjusted the tensioning bolts so that there was about 3-4 inches between the contact part of the track and the center wheels.
While working at a ski hill in the past, I worked on a Tucker and the Tucker technician told me that when you tighten those tracks (model 1642), that the track should hang down about 1" below the center guide tires when hanging freely. I applied this same thought (expanded to 3-4" due to the much longer track) to the Spryte.
I searched this forum thoroughly and I could only find one post that talked about specifics regarding how tight to make the track. That information came from Ray Green. He mentioned that you tighten the track to the point that while standing on the outside of the track, the inside won't hit the underside of the vehicle. Is there any more technical information than that available?
Does any one else have any advice regarding this?
Thank you,
Jim
