Thanks Guys! I have been getting lots of usage out of this lately, I will try to make a video of it pushing dirt. I have to say I am always surprised at how well the plastic and the parts hold up.

Well after a summer of heavy use the tracks on the D11 were stretching to the point of just sliding off the idlers.


So I am going to try to make a track tensioner.

























Here is the result...much better I think!

Beautiful job!!! Did you showed the part where you added the "teeth" to the tracks?

It looks really good. How did you get them on, glue?

Thank you. I didn't take photos of the track modification but all I did was take styrene I beam bar and cut to width and glued in place with Plasti-struct. Works pretty good for the soft dirt I am using this in, the odd piece snaps off but it is easy to re-glue on.

What size of styrene did you use on the tracks?

After the mods, how has it held up?

A GREAT idea
