QuoteThe bolt heads are just out of the way of the roller chain, but I am planning to mill them thinner anyway and angle the heads so the chains won't have a tendancy to catch on them.If they can catch, they will catch. Why don't you use counter sunk flat head screws and eliminate the possibility? They are completely hidden from view.
I am hearing engine chuffing and track clanking and rattling sounds in my mind as I view these pics. Since the driver was in the front and the engineer in the back, many feet away, there was like more than a few choice words loosed as well.Excellent job so far Chris.Tom
Hi Chris, Well after 2 days of not getting my fix, you have been a busy boy! The tracks are coming on nicely! Right off to the shop, required! It's not growing fast enuff to keep up!Cheers Kerrin
Looking good Chris. I'm glad I printed out the pics you posted of the track mechanism and the drawing you made. Helps me to keep track of what is going on. I'm amazed at how much your material moved when you split it. I'd of believed it for wood (based on experience), but never thought about metal moving that much!Jim
Bud you just keep chewing up the metal and making art with it. Your are sure on a roll Dog and still with you...... Don
