Carson L634

Benchtop milling machine? Clamp the tracks on edge, vertically, and you could probably mill as many sections as your vise is wide. I wouldn't even worry about disassembling the links.

Any idea what a completed set of tracks weigh? I'm just wondering how much extra weight these would add to a LR634.

Mockup complete! Took your advice and milled the tracks. Came out fine. Also, the metal track application requires a change of bottom rollers (Top rollers are good). I made some extras for my "Wide Track" dozer ( exactly 12). They are about 2mm smaller, but work none the less. I also added a bottom plate for additional weight. Havn't got a scale, but I'm guessing it all adds up to around 4- 6 lbs. I plan to use fiberglass resin, and place No. 9 Birdshot into the Cab recesses, this should add a little more weight.
