i need to put ALOT of track clips on a track for my Buddy but i don't have the money for a track clip tool. any one have any tricks that would work? what about just using some channel locks? or does any one have a tool i could borrow. I'm in western mass
 
I am sure if you asked you can find someone that may lone you a tool to do it. I needed to borrow a clutch alignment tool and someone let me use theres. He shipped it to me and when I shipped it back I reimbursed him for shipping and threw some Amsoil chaincase oil and Amsoil water resistant grease.
 
Terret725. Pipmpedrage on the 4 stroke size has mine, if he is done with it you can have him ship it to you. Maxdlx
 
My local dealer here in michigan rents them, like $10 a day. Make sure you get the right tool for the clips that you have, and yes it is a pain is the a$$.
 
track clips

If you have to replace more than half of the clips you may want to consider looking for a low miles take off track. With the cost of clips and amount of time and labor to replace it is probably a lower cost option.
 
Getting the tool is a must. You might be able to do a few without but if you want the crimp right the tool is great. My Father has one that works well after it had a new die machined for it. That is why I purchased a new track. I can't stand doing clips. Even with air tools it is a PIA job.

Die grinder/cut off wheel gets the worn ones off in a hurry.

Someone I know replaces 1/3 his studs and any clip that is suspect before every season. Seems like overkill to me.
 
well the track is clip otehr then its missing most fo the clips and the ones on it are pretty word. hes sellin the sled anyways i think but he go teh track for 45 bucks and it has 192 woodies in it tahst the only reason were gonan put teh clips on cause its cheepe rthen finding another track tahst stuced and doesnt have a blemish on the lugs. even if we relace all teh clips thst only onterh 90 bucks or so so hell have a new track with new clips and good studs for 130 bucks.
 
Sure will be easier to replace them with the track out of the sled.

By the way that was one very hard to read reply with all the spelling issues. :D
