I think I have a picture of Larry Millers set up at our show several years ago. The problem is it's on my old PC and I haven't copied the files to this puter yet. Maybe LArry will jump in if he has a couple pictures.

| I might have it figured out today. got them off the pallet & there aren't any extra parts. not for sure where it mounts, but I think I can figure it out , but if i can't I'll have you send me some pics from the rear, lonnie. can get a better view & determine left from right.& where it bolts on. |

The outside of the bracket bolts to holes beside the inside bearing cap of the final drive and the inside of the bracket bolts on with the back hole of the snap coupler and the front hole of drawbar, you may have to put longer bolts in for those. If you want pics just let me know. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

Since it seems like the one thing I do best on the computer is to show everyone how little I know... What advantage do the tracks have when mounted on the tractor? Better grip in snow and ice? Better traction in mud? Less soil compaction? |

Clovis, the tracks give you a bigger foot print so less pounds per square inch on the ground which means you don't sink in the soft spots. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

I'd say all of the above. It may not turn as well? |
