They are using 4.50/16 Bombardier tires on the crown vic rims. I have been trying to send a pic of the hubs that they had made to fit on the existing axle with the same original bearings. The rear tires on the 1976 are the split rims with solid rubber tire.

Yes some guys around here changed to the dummy spares with the Bombardier tires on the rims. The rims are getting harder to find here in Ontario and pricey. There is a guy in Toronto area making new rims though $$$$. The 5 bolt dummies are easier and quicker to change when you are running them for Ice fishing customers " cannot afford much down time ".

I put carbides on one of mine and they worked great, turn on a dime on the lake, bad side was could not backup on dirt as they dug-in to much. Also cut the *&#&%$ out of my concrete floor in the work shop.

I have heard that if you over lap that would happen. But my c18 has both sides like that and does not seem to. But the joiner that you have sounds good.

Mine are spaced 3.750" apart in length, best way to check is to measure the distance between 10 cleats divide by 10 measure 15, divide by 15 and so on. Should all be the same answer.

Pitch diameter is a term used to take measurements of the diameter of a gear or a screw using pitch points. Pitch points on a gear could be found if a straight line were drawn up from two of the gear's teeth located side by side and the two lines were connected by a curve. In the case of a gear or sprocket, pitch basically measures the distance between teeth.
any better?

Does anyone know what the pitch and cleat spacing should be on bomber tracks? we are having a bit of trouble with cleats catching on the sprocket and snapping.
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 ??
OT's getting on track....
Here as link to measure gear pitch's.
Hope it helps and keeps you on the right track

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.
