Where can I find under carriage wear specs HD5? My track chain rail height is about 3.5 inch. How close to new is that? Thanks Shawn |

I printed the photo and enlarged it close to proper scale. Looks like around 3 5/8 in. New rail height. Recondition at 3 3/8 in. Rail height. |

the picture is one i posted a few years back of one of the track gauges I have Unsure if anyone makes them now , I have one in Aluminum and other in plastic . Friend junked out a old salvage yard here in MN and i got several track gauges from him , kind of nostalgia items - when I sell my HD5G (if ever) might part with the extras but for now will just hang in shop . ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

Cool. Thanks for posting that photo. Does my estimate match up with your gauge? I saw an aluminum Cat D4 years ago. I bought a reproduction 20 years ago |

It's why I posted it with the ruler as it seems the copy I first made was not to scale but figured the ruler would allow someone to size it accordingly ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

Any chance of getting a photo of that gauge lying on a piece of graph paper? That would make it really nice to duplicate to scale  |
