Track links frozen

[Bri963]

Pressing the tracks and it felt like all the links were frozen, but spent no time or aggro on it, that is next week.

Really, just pressing the tracks puts very little force in compared to trying to track it. Have you tried to move it? If not, go easy on the travel levers and you might be surprised how quickly they un-freeze. Unless you drove it in salt water and parked it up, it’s unlikely the pins have frozen into the bushes in that time, and it might be rust between the inner/outer chain links making you think you’ve got a bigger problem than you have.

See other post for saga of repairing track gearbox, but did get machine started and nudging back and forth an inch or so and looked like the rusted tracks were freeing. When both tracks powered can then really try!
