That doesn't sound too bad. Are the tracks extra parts or are they just on it? Also make sure you get that extra toggle switch for the 6-way. Candian dollar is close the the US right now... 50 hours puts it past its first oil change, so get that done if it needs it.HypNoTic said:
Buy a fire extinguisher, just for safety. Also assemble a "track kit" which would include a big open end wrench (I forget the size), a 30 mm 12 point socket/ratchet not a second wrench, a tooth brush (to clean the threads on the bolts that set the tension, maybe a small screw driver or dental pick does the same job), and a tube of anti-seize. Do yourself a favor and release the tension on the tracks, liberally apply anti-seize working it back in to the internal nut so that you can rotate the bolt by hand, and re-tension. Do the other side. You'll thank me around 200 hours later. I've heard of the tension bolt getting stuck, nothing would work, finally Coke worked.
When out in woods if you slip a track, slide a rock or log under one side of the platform. Use the blade and you can then jack up one side of the machine. I think track issues become more common over 200 hours. I've had none up to 145, but I'm just passing good info along, none of which I can take real credit for (thanks IMBA!!!)
I'm sure others with more experience will also help. Good luck!
