adjust track tension, replace seat, make up my mind on what i want for lights, need to work on foot brake pedal, tach issues, figure out plastic on control levers (6-way handle and steering levers), push some dirt/brush
I saw one of the vendors sells a new seat; maybe it was on eBay? I need armrests, but my seat is fine.

Track tension should be fairly quick.

On the plastic, there's a bunch of stuff on Amazon - rubber dip coating and plastic dip coating. Some of it comes in an aerosol, too.

yea oi have looked at that but have in mind 3d printing grips out of nylon.
yea i'm looking at those ebay set and will; most likely get one ordered i don't need but want it and my arm rests are the real issue.

dozer is pushing dirt and is dead reliable in starting, still have worries about the right clutch, it works fine but i can tell it is not as effective as the left, just not bad enough to make me tear it down to fix it.

Excellent news. I should be pushing dirt with mine soon.
