Kinked tracks, hiw to straighten

[etd66ss]

How long have you had the machine for? I have a machine for my own personal use as well. I had some frozen track links as well. They eventually worked their way out. Took probably 150+ hours, but it solved itself. I like those kind of problems!

As I said above, I have owned the machine for 10+ years, it came with a 90% UC with kinks in it. I dug 3 ponds with it and logged about 10 acres with it. None of the kinks worked themselves out after about 200 hrs of tracking. I put 600 hrs total on the machine. I've dumped a mixture of diesel and used oil on one of the kinks pretty much every weekend all summer long and tried to lower the weight of the machine down onto a kink/log. The weight of the machine just sat up in the air on the kink...

I think my only option would be to have them pressed out and back in. I don't really think I want to pay for that at this stage.

Update. My kinks are all gone. Found some standing water and tracked back and forth for 5 min...6 or 7 kinks all gone.

If I ever find a deep puddle I will give that a shot.
