Yes, there should be a master pin in the track chain. You should be able to identify it by just looking at it. It will appear a little different than the pressed in pins, as it will have some sort of a retainer to keep it from backing out of the chain on one side, and will have a head similar to a bolt or rivet on the other side.

I think if the tracks have been repinned and bushed the master pin may have been updated to one that does not use a keeper. The pin will just have a dipple in the middle of it.
