Dozer that hates ,to drive in dirt!

[cosworth34677]

OK gother the dozer going, strong and pushes dirt fine..........But.......
The track fill with dirt and jam up the sprocket! Also it doesn't link to go backwards some times. Not that it can't it dose it fine on the driveway.
So any help or ideas? At lease to keep the tracks from jamming.

Sounds like your sprocket probably needs the teeth beveled so it can stand to push more dirt out before binding.

Or chrome the sprockets, idlers, and road wheels and lower it like the 4wd offroad vehicles people mod to be worthless offroad...

Take the tracks off and check alignment down the sprocket through the bogies to the idler. Also while having the tracks off run the sprockets and see if there's any deflection one way or the other during rotation.

For trying to keep the sprockets clear you could try a sprocket spade. These are just examples off a couple tanks I have. You'd have to think a bit different since your running a single row of teeth, but could possibly work. Maybe a spade coming off the bogie support beam toward the sprocket with a groove for the sprocket teeth.
