Well I decided to add some traction for ice but easy to skid steer year round. If this isn’t enough I can always add the Adair cleats.

Thanks Joe. The drop in anchors were already there for my tube bender. Worked good for this also.

 Lookin' good Trevor! That is one capable machine you've assembled there. Equally impressed with the inserts in the concrete for the come along. How convenient  :)

Wedge, here’s a pic of the inside. Just two supports behind the seat. Another pic of what I had to do to heat remold the tub. Max IV s have ahump under the front seat that was in the way. Ok seem to be having trouble with the pics.

In the 40s here. I may end up burning some out at work and facing off each cleat with 1/8” kinda like my other set. They skid steered real nice.

I have installed a lot or Adair’s and my kid runs a set. Very slick on rocks and slippery trees. I’m thinking you may want to install some screw in studs for ice fishing. Well winter is coming. Only 15 above here today.

It’s nothing fancy that’s for sure. I’ll try to take a picture later. It’s just a piece of 3/4” square tube from the frame straight up to the top of the cage on each side. There’s no back seat so if didn’t interfere with anything. Just got rod holders and fishing gear in back.

What do you mean you lifted the body up by the cage?

I made some supports going from the frame up to the cage for the body lift to clear the tracks.

Very nice Trevor. Weren’t you running rubber tracks before? Do you have any ice cleats on the Adair’s?

Yes I was running factory tracks with some added UHMW cleats faced off with 1/8” stainless. I don’t have cleats on these yet, still debating if I should. It sure is nice driving it in the shop without having to wheel it in on a pallet jack.
