Fings wot broke

It didn’t look too bad in photo. Time to get a new track then. As I said it’s bound to let you down at the most inconvenient time. Despite telling the blokes not to turn on a stump-especially small stumps? What did half wit do? Spun it on a small sprag, rips the track and still half the day to go😫. If the thing rips it’s difficult to load, ended up supporting one side with a loader and tracking the other side. Lifted it off back at Mission Control with a loader. I now always keep a spare track in reserve - they’re not that much🤔

Its split all along I just presumed that it was only the edges now holding it together? The track doesn't seem just right in fairness. 

 

Glad I got job done and back on trailer anyhow!

 

The metal part is flapping about some. I thought once that's whipped out the track will skip and probably come off? 

Go steels!!!

Ranger, front sway bar drop link. How the hell did I do this?

Managed to get some time this afternoon to get this lot renewed. 4 bearings on the shaft, worn pulley and another 2 bearings in the bigger pulley. Funny setup 😮

Because it’s a Ford! Not a reliable Jap rebadge like the earlier models.

Yet when had a Mazda, the drive shaft fell off on the Edinburgh bypass!

Having said that, we used some 4 x 2.2 engines and a couple of 3.2 units! Both the newer 3.2 have dodgy gearbox faults  too. We go to Isuzu soon.....

 

Now. Is their a worthy tune for these to pull them up to 200hp?

Should have changed the UJs then! 🤣 No truck is maintenance free. Besides, I’m amazed you didn’t feel / hear the clanging!
