Okay, so is the trackpress video a forerunner to you building a scale-sized one to assemble your tracks? That'd be really cool, just need to find a scale-sized guy to run it. He won't need safety glasses - the real guy didn't either! I enjoy being around a press when disassembling really big tracks - like a Komatsu D475 or even D575. It strains and pops and jumps and gets your insides tightened up waiting for something to fly apart! Guess I'm just a sick dude using a trackpress as a source of excitement?!?

not sure I'll build the exact press but maybe a vise jig . I never got to see them used but I did see them when picking and dropping off for new P&B's
