Our drives were rerubberized before we got the machine and we don't know if there is too much rubber on them or not enough or what.

If anyone has a close up picture of their drives or dimensions of the drives, it would help alot.

  Can someone tell me what the word "PITCH" means, what mine should be & how far apart my cleats should be ?? I was talking to a company in Ontario that sells the material, but they need to know what the pitch is. I think there are 72 cleats on each track... am I right ??

Around here everybody orders strips of rubber from places like Canadian Bearings cut to width and about 6 cleat lengths longer then needed, drill out the holes with drill & template shown with some dish soap. Then overlap them when bolting back together. cost about $200.00 per 2 pieces last time I did it.
