    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    Thank you! I did a fair amount of research on this site before I started to minimize screw ups.

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    Nige, yes I bought a pile of flap discs and wire wheels. I figured I'd mount the chains then buzz the paint off of the tops so I'm not doing it on my knees. Wire wheel and smooth out the back of the pads too.

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    Yes, rollers and the idlers. I hate doing things twice lol. Yanking that idler, do you think if I pull the blade up I'll be able to slide it out with the tensioner in one piece? Or will I have to pull have way and unbolt the tensioner? I ran out of steam and haven't tried.

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    I guess I was just wondering what causes the bushing to explode like so many of mine are. But I guess they were just at the very end of their life. A little too much slop in the sprocket, a strategically placed rock right? Swapping the bushings and pins would make sense if the chains were a...

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    Dave, I haven't installed the new parts yet. Can you tell me what torque and how far to turn? I was planning on torquing to 300-330 only because that's what the service manual says I believe.

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    I decided to transfer the pads and save the money. Rented a tow behind compressor to run a 1 inch impact, snapped all the bolts. The rails were far worse than I realized. What causes this to happen?

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    Ughhh. There are mixed reviews on aftermarket track parts. On the Internet and off. I would have them warranty that! Their warranty sounds solid from what I've read.

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    Thank you, it's a fairly well kept machine. Will the oil work it's way in? I figured the links were sealed so I never even tried.

    I am sure the current tracks would last for hundreds or thousands of hours longer. But they just drive me nuts, day one my neighbor came over commenting on how I need to "oil that thing". Im probably being a little wasteful here. But Im also an over maintainer.

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    I bought the machine used, hour meter read 5800 hrs. I removed the seat and broke the hour meter, I THINK, although it could have been broken previously. So hours are kind of a question mark. Either the previous owner did a lot of blade work, or the hours are wrong.... Most of my issues are...

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    Hey guys, I am having a hard time deciding here. I have an open quote for all new parts for the undercarriage (ITR). I don't really want to mix any old worn out rolling parts with the new chains. But I am on the fence when it comes to the pads. It will be roughly 5400 for new pads already...
