Default Re: Crawler Track Build - American HC230

Seems like a good enough plan to start and see how it goes. Tom will likely chime in on this one, he cast the pads for his shovel and it works great.

I know from my aluminum pads experience that the hinge points need to be nearly perfect so you don't get a twist or a left or right bow in them when they are pinned together. This will cause alignment issues and they will catch or try to work off to one side of the tumblers.
