Thanks... it's kinda crude but it worked

That's all that counts. Have done a few sets of those in the past, not for the weak of heart. Cheers, Mike

Thanks Mike... yeah you're right... they can be dicey... I ended up horse trading for an old otc y7000 trackmaster... It's nice but not nearly as satisfying as building your own

Thats a great looking press! I am very envious. Very well built. You are more than welcome to store it at my place when you are finished your tracks
I made one a couple years ago but it would only push the connecting link pin. It is not man enough to do a bushing roll. Hoping to find new track chains for my 850B Case. My bushings are wore clean thru in spots.
Cheers
Martin

Thanks Martin... yeah I made the pieces to do the pin and the bushing.... I ended up with an OTC trackmaster and use it now...the shop built just sits in my barn
