DEPENDING ON WHAT MINE LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE CALLING YA. THE EXTERIOR OF THE TUBE IS PRETTY PITTED. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THE INSIDE LOOKS LIKE

Ya I know what you mean they have a tendancy too go off with a bang when I bought one of my 21B allis the old guy that had it said he could never tighten the one track so I got a compound presure greese gun and put a back hoe on the front pullin so hard that the loader was off the ground I started pumping the greese gun when the track tightened dirt flew every where the neighbours dog thought a gun went off I only had the presence of mind to check that all was in place its worked great since If you can borrow a compound greese gun they work nice in that application but could be hell on the seals I think.Digitup.
