Not sure what the rail is? Sprocket has seen better days. Should I replace? Crawler won’t be operated too many hours per year (maybe 10), so beyond the most important I don’t want to go too far right away.. I also have two broken adjuster springs.

Just typed my heart out and lost the post. Starting over, found my left track to be badly worn (bushings not round) and right track looking real good (3” shorter) with no obvious wear. Was fooled due to lots of chrome showing on right adjuster and none on left (as well as being green). Will need to ...

That’s interesting. I was looking at the tracks and one was tighter than the other. I have adjusted them in the past, but not necessarily to spec. I saw that one of the track adjusters was not out as much as the other. I also wonder if one adjuster is not holding grease. I will do some measuring etc...

Hi, just joined. My 350B seems to have different gears in the final drives between the left and the right. The left track drives faster than the right and therefore constantly steers right. Is my assumption correct and are there different gear ratios available? I don’t know the history of the machine.
