I am making a small home build dozer using a hefty garden tractor and some tracks off of an air opperated drill rig. I have to press out a couple pins in order to shorten up the track for my setup. I was wondering. I have access to a big 30 ton log splitter. If I made a ram to go on the cylinder that would press the pin and put a piece of big heavy wall pipe between the end of the pin and the end of the splitter beam would this be a feasable means of getting the pins out. Just a thought. I would like to hear input on this idea.

I built a 30 ton press to repin the tracks on a D2Cat if the pins are wore at all it makes edges that lock into the bushings BENT 1 inch steel plate 8 inch square holding bottom of bushing.

if you want to split logs agian forget splitter idea

I'm assuming these tracks are like most ...and have a master pin. They can be driven out with a sledge hammer.That is if they arent the style that has a headed master pin with cotter pin or similar retaining it. Remove the master pin , break the track, cut off the extra track links with a torch. That will leave a link with a standard bushing (they protrude beyond the sides of the links) .To turn this into a "master bushing"...shave off the extra protruding bushing with a torch and finish off smoothing it with a grinder. Then just re-install the master pin.

CJ, Why not just blow pin out with a torch or take tracks to track shop and for a few bucks they could press them out. These homemade track presses are dangerous. My friend has four presses and his little one that he uses for Oliver riveted pads is 35 ton. You should see the holes in the wall 12 feet away. Sometimes those pins shoot out like a rocket.
