sprocket fitting
 

Could someone help in fitting a set of Tamiya sprockets with T-84 track to my HL M-26A1? Someone had offered by some of my messages got deleted. Would also need some electronics checkup. Will pay gladly for any work done.

Disregard the call for help on the sprockets. I did some Dremmel work cutting away the second flat portion and they are on pretty well. This is my first experience with metal tracks. I have a new set of Impact T-84 tracks and they seem to be very tight but seem to want to buckle coming over the sprocket moving forward. On a real Pershing, I would tighten the adjustment, but...
Do they need a good amount of running to "run in" or would WD-40 help???
Appreciate any advise.

Hi Bill, glad you got them to fit. I would imaging like the Mato metal tracks that they'll loosen up after a bit of run time. One of my Tigers got so sloppy that I pulled a link out of each side and they're sagging again! T-84, isn't that the rubber block track? I'm waiting for the WW2 tracks!

Thanks, yes, that's the rubber chevron double pin, and the detailing is really great. I get the feel that the track is too loose, so I may have to remove a link and see what happens. I have a set of single pin ordered for my Super Pershing, to make it totally correct.
I haveconverted this to an M-26A1 and aiming at late or post Korean war era. Both tracks were in Korea.
