Welcome back to another chapter guys. In this 1 Baz does a full service on a ZX135 Undercarriage using Astrak's "Duratrack" Astrak are a leading UK supplier, This is there heavy-duty brand of chain, bushes and rails. They come with an easy slide-in master pin as standard (there's a option for press-fit too) As you'll see in the video these pins make it super easy. If we didn't have the time Astrak would have come and done this for us.
Check them out here.

Baz also goes to the Road Transport Ball, he was up for an award (against Ashville) and the FOX Group for 1 also.

I myself have only ever helped as a driver changed one set of tracks,But as an old coal miner we never had the gas or fork lift . It took a lot longer than a couple of hours having to do it in 3 foot of mud . The track were not maintained to your standard, only got replaced when they wouldn't drive or kept getting thrown off,which was normally when you got into boggy ground

I noticed John Comer from Volvo Trucks was sat on the next table at the awards. I first met John when I introduced the Volvo chassis into Greater Manchester Fire Service fleet 32 years ago. With just a few exceptions the service has retained their allegiance to the manufacturer all this time. No doubt Foxy will know him well given the number of FMX tippers he's operating. Although you didn't win it was nice for you to be recognised. Your time will come.

Hi baz I changed tracks on a 135 recently we use berco chains and sprockets I find machines used on motorway work wear out undercarage very quick 2_3 thousand hours where as building site work 5_6 thousand hours all depending on driver. you made it look easy whitch it is in a nice clean yard but a pig of a job on site in the middle of winter I'm old enough to remember doing it before impact guns came out imagen doing it with a spanner never mind a ratchet spanner What would we today do today without impact guns just finishing of listening to the driver he's dead right about greasing the machines I hear you say your heading for Birmingham I lived there for 30 years I'm back in Ireland now I see you in the Hilton have a pint of Guinness on me I think you earned it this year hope you keeped the camera rolling when you were out on the floor 😀👍👍

Good morning....always a school day for me when I turn on your vlogs. Changing the tracks on that digger was really interesting but I bet doing it can be a pain at times. I see the replacement parts are far better spec than OEM. I wish car parts were like that. Saying that I wonder what the price difference is between those beefed up parts and makers ... Gutted you didn't get the social media influencer but Ashville has been going for quite a while longer on line but you're catching up very quickly. I was surprised at the size of Daniel though as you're not a small fella yourself Baz ... Thanks to everyone and of course the director for another gear vlog. Can I take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy Christmas. Thank you for keeping me entertained through a challenging year for myself health wise. Gary 🙏

Another great video Baz. Dont worry about the lack of content, it's at just the right level, educational and interesting. Forget the critics. One question how often do you check the track tension?. The system looks foolproof and works well if maintained. I would think lack of attention to the track tension would accelerate wear.

If you have chance before Xmas break editor maybe it’d be helpful to most operators to show them how to properly park a 360 machine up to protect rams from the frost and to take pressure of the track motor’s as well as the importance of not having the undercarriage packed with dirt that freezes putting extra stress on the track. It’s surprising how few know even the older op’s.
