The frame on the right t...

I see were the ideler bushing's can be replaced but what about the ideler brackets? It seems that they have equal amount of where.
What can be done with those?

That explains why they were so hard to get apart lol
I thank the Lindeman's for giving us the crawler but would rather work on a four or five role any day.

I will give that a try, If I can only get say a half turn can I get a dye and cut the threads a little further?

Been working on rebuilding the track frames, made new spacers that the carriage bolts go through, I used the same measurement from the old ones and now with it bolted to gather the frame is to narrow for the ideler to slide on?

Not sure what this m...

Either way they will be going back to green.
I'm with you Stan I like the yellow stripe,especially on the 20 series.

I know 1010 had four bolt pads, were they introduced during the 440 production?

Track's are different, 350?

I talked to Ted Adams from the lindeman archives awhile back and he said that these were only available on the MC.

This grill is from a 52 MC what I believe to be in original condition and paint, but the grill screens are yellow? I've only ever seen them green.
Any thoughts?
