You are correct about the tracks.


When I built the lengths I found them to be just a tad too long.


After quite a bit of thinking and test fitting this is what I came up with.


I glued the track(I alway's put tracks on prior to painting)to the return roller,when set I then glued the track under tension to the front roller,again when set, I glued the track to the rear roller.


The next thing I did was to glue the bottom of the track to the wheels,for this I coated them with Testor's cement and when about half way dry I


pressed the tracks together as tight as I could going from the back to the front.


There was a bit where the track didn't quit sit correct at the front but this would be hidden by the blade support's and covered with dirt.


I hope this helps.


Ralph.

Thanks for that Ralph. At least I have an approach to the track problem when I start this - however, knowing there is a problem, I've moved it back down on my 'to do' list!
