Right now the track split is the only problem I have on this one They claim you can drive them out--- BUT these wont! --- 16 pound sledge hammer full swing with strong guy---me holding the big bar and no go! --- dont want to break the drive sprocket either.
Heat didnt do the job. --- bigger torch?
didnt wand to have to make a pin press ----- guess that is always an option if all else fails.
Nick suggested cutting thru the pin boss with cutoff grinder then after the pin is put back in--- weld the gap shut ---- he says they do that on small crawlers and have good luck with it.
Another problem we have is figuring which way is out on these --- looks to me like one track rail was put on backwards at some point.

How much pressure would 1 inch all thread rod hold if that was used for press frame? --- not a lot of room for big stuff in there.
Always open to ideas!
