Walker Bulldog tracks

Post by Steve.d.scott »

Does anyone who has a metalled track henglong Bulldog know how many tracks links it should have. Discovered today that one side of mine had 71 the other 72. 71 side is a tight track 72 is fairly slack.
Good morning Mr Stevens and the windy notchy knight.

I can't help you with the numbers but which side do you prefer, the slacker tighter side? Does one run better or look more correct? If you favour the tighter side remove a link from the 72. If you prefer the slacker side, add a link to the 71. That's what l would do.

Thanks . I like the tracks to look fairly tight. Currently running both sides on 71 and the tank move good.

Hi Steve,
just saw your question and happened to reworking on my M41, good timing :D
A quick check on one side of mine counts 73 links, and you can see from my pic that the tension seems right. :thumbup:
