1st stock Toro Tiger video

First video with new Beier board. The video is pretty bad but the sound is the main thing I wanted to show. Still need someone to show me how to get my recoil and Flash back on the Canon.

Thanks, manual came with the board. At this point I don't know if it's even possible or if I got things wired wrong or if it's a software issue.

Hello, I am not particularly familiar with this type of turntable? but like "Jimster" if I can help? here is the link, from the blog of the friend "Rad" where there will be, perhaps? your solution....if the link didn't work? you will find in the post "Reviews" a very complete description of this type of electronics

Tweaking on things and decided to get a little target practice. Still can't figure out how to get Flash and recoil.

Well today was interesting. Tiger was acting crazy and I finally figured out that one of the treads was not on the drive sprocket. After I found the adjustment screw for the tread and loosened it all I could, I still couldn't get the tread back on the idler wheel . So I then realized the drive sprocket was loose . I figured out how to tighten it but could not get the tread back on. Took the sprocket and tread completely off but could not find a master pin on the tread. I punched out a pin, not a master pin, is there a master pin? If there is how do I locate it? I'm not sure I got that pin all the way back in properly . One other thing I heard something fall when I took the sprocket off but since I was outside on the table I could not find it. I don't know if it was a part or if it was a little rock or what. Is there supposed to be a lock washer on the screw that tightens the sprocket? Anyway I got it all put back together and got the treads adjusted so they weren't popping and all is good. Quite a learning experience. I can see now this tank is going to be very maintenance intensive.

No, there is no master pin on the track? but coupling needles which have one end, generally towards the outside, having a notched part, to remove one you must proceed with a fine forest from the inside of the caterpillar by threading the forest and tapping gently, to extract it, as soon as 5 mm has come out, just pull on it (pliers) to come out in its entirety, and then reassemble in the same way. For the rear roller, in principle there is a washer. On the other hand, I do not don't understand your problem with Flash and Canon? in view of the links provided? inviting you to watch ?sent by Jimster and me?? but maybe I didn't understand well?

HogHappy2000: it sounds as if you did remove and reinsert one of the track pins just fine. Generally, the track pins have one cross-cut knurled end and the rest is smooth. I keep extra track pins of various sizes at the ready to align with the pin in the track.

To remove the pin and split the track, hold the extra pin with a pliers to support it and reduce the chances of bending. All one need do, as Jofaur explains, is get the knurled end of the pin out enough to then to grab it with a pliers and pull it the rest of the way out.

To reinsert the pin, put in the smooth end first (preferably with the smooth and knurled ends in the same orientation as when you removed the pin (i.e. with the rest of the track pins). Then wiggle and fiddle the track in alignment to make the smooth end of the pin slide in most of the way. Finish by tapping on the knurled end of the pin to finish it all the way into the track.

Alternatively, I have found that a watchmaker's device (under $10.00 US) for removing watch band link pins can work, especially with plastic tracks. (It's usually more difficult to remover pins from metal tracks.) I bought two already on Amazon, and I have my eyes on three more that look even sturdier. Check under "watch band link pin remover.

Oh, it also helps to have eight arms and hands, but, heck, even a klutzy, half-blind old professor can do it.

Thanks I'll go to Amazon look for that. I had a really hard time with the last quarter inch. I pounded on it pretty hard. Appreciate the help.
