I have been running tracks all year round on my 8x8 but I keep tearing up the back bearing housing. I bought the tracks used and am wondering how many sections of track I should have linked together and if maybe I have too much tension and this is why I am tearing the housings up. They are the plastic 18 inch Argo tracks. |

Jeff do you run these tracks and have you had or heard of this problem?
This was also a power and utility vehicle before I had it and it was run awful hard before I bought it.

Actually, the Argo owner's manual states that 8x8 models should have 36 full segments and 1 half segment per side (Section 11, page 51 of the 2007 Operator's manual). The half segment is about 4 inches wide. |

Hi I have tru tracks I got six years ago that I put on my buffalo RI machine they are a little long even with the tires at seven pounds of air,this half segment do you have a picture of one I wander if I could make it fit,the machine would run much nicer with out the slack. |
