Arps half track and Super C

Bob H. · Dec 25, 2009

Merry Christmas to all! Well, with family gone and a snow storm on the way, the wife and I thought it would be a good time to push the Super C in the shop, (been sitting for a while) and go out to the pile of half tracks, that's been waiting by the shed. When I looked at these to buy, I seen the mounts, and I knew right away they where for a Farmall C. I had to move the wheel out to center with the idler wheel. I loosed up the bolts, and it moved without a problem! Well,I haven't done the right side yet. Going good so far....I took the axle mounts off and bolted it on, and used the gantry crane I built last yr to raise up the idler pipe and wheel. I have a "H" drawbar on this tractor and I think I will still be able to use this. We have in floor heat in the shop, with a outside boiler. I have a 430 JD cat out in the woods right now as we are logging firewood. I use the cat to skid the logs to the road, and maybe this half track will skid on the road better. Well, I know it would be faster!! Any hints on installing? I'll try to post some pics. Thanks Bob

When I put the AARPs on my WD45 I let most of the air out of the tires (on the tractor and the idlers)and jacked it up, then rapped the tracks around and pulled them together with a couple ratchet straps. You don't have to get them very tight since you will be airing up the tires and that will tighten them. Went together better than I expected. Good Luck

Lonnie; Thank you for the help. I have fluid in the rears, but I can let some air out. I also backed the adjusters all the way back. I had to remove 3 sections of track on mine....36" rears. Got one side done, will work on the other side tomorrow. Thanks again Bob
