I recently purchased these tracks for my 863. They work great, but I don't know who makes them! They are cast iron and very heavy. I doubt they are Loegering or Grouser. If you can help ID them that would be great. Thanks! (hope the pics post ok) http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll175/marktomcho/?action=view&current=tracks002.jpg http://s288.photobucket.com/albums/ll175/marktomcho/?action=view&current=bobcattracks003.jpg

Short version:
I opened your PhotoBucket page and put my cursor over one of the pictures. I popup menu will appear and I copied the DirectLink.
In the editor for this site I clicked on the HTML tab at the bottom of the editor and manually entered the HTML code to display the image:
<IMG SRC="http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll175/marktomcho/tracks002.jpg">
Red text is the DirectLink text from PhotoBucket.
Green text is the HTML code I had to enter.

To embed a link like http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll175/marktomcho/tracks002.jpg" from the editor on this site you will find a button in the second row from the top, 7th button from left. The button is a Globe with a chain below it. This button is the insert link button. Click this button and it will prompt you to enter the hyperlink. Paste it in and click Ok.

Oh well, I guess no ideas on who makes these tracks. As long as they work, it really doesn't really matter anyway. Just curious though. BUT, I got some good instructions on how to post pics on this site!

They are SkidTraxx, they are out of business. I bought some from a guy who had just rebuilt them and never used them. Anyway he had gotten parts before they went out. The only thing you should need would be some bushings and bolts and thats a rebuild. They made a huge difference in my 773Turbo. For the $750 I paid it was worth it.

$750 what a deal. I paid twice that for my used tracks.

SkidTraxx? OK, thanks. Are you still using your set? I am thinking about getting a machine shop to make some bushings for them in case I need them later. They are probably no where near as good as Grouser, but as you said, for the money they made a huge difference.

I used them for a short time in my back yard. I have grass now. Haven't done much with my machine for the past year. I have three distractions and am single. I was going to have a machine shop make some new bushings if I ever needed to redo them. I think they were about 7/8 or 15/16" outside dia. by 1/2" inside by like 1/2" wide? Im not sure it they are as good as Grouse but I could pull wheelies easier!

Wheelies with tracks? I would have to see that! I really need to find a good deal on a set of used tracks for my 763, 843 or 863 just to see what it's like!
