 Topic: track pins
Posted: 03 Mar 2012 at 4:39pm |
I am not having very good luck to date, Minnpar says the supplier is discontinuing pins and bushings for the old Allis/FA track, no demand, I am in bad need of two decent order master pins/link sections to repair the rails on my new acquire and seems no one has any as they did have bushings and spacers. 7G, 7GB and HD11 all used 7.0 pitch with 1.554 pins, there has to be a few still around. I can find no specs as to rockwell or alloy so I can get a reasonable close blank stock to make my own. Rail eyes are pretty beaten up but I think I can get a repair on them.

I may have a couple of links, bushings and pins laying around to fit 7G and the old HD11- I'll check if you are interested. We cut a track down from 41 to 38 link a few years ago...

Hi Coke, did try Thill and a assortment of others all across IL and Mo, sent mail to at least seven so far with poor to no responses all the way out to PA and OH. Looks bleak. I have sent lazyts a PM, may do me some good if he can let them go. This forum has been a wonder as to finding some of the odder stuff I have had need of.

If you can part with the pin sets and bushings(all) I will buy, send me a PM with a price and address, will go from there. It will be in US funds.
