Sprockets and idlers are good, accept for the ones on top, they've been standin still and are not round any moore.:( But i have another machine sittin so i'll take those. I'm waiting for a operators manual to arrive, i bought one on ebay. I hope it will cover track adjustment aswell? The tractor will remain as it is as long as i own it... I'm not patience enough to restore it, and if a did, i wouldnt dare use the macine after restoring:)

I'm located near Trollhättan, it's a bit north from Gothenburg.

Thank's ol'_grump!

Just wondering, about the track adjustion, the nut just close to the plate i front of the spring doesn't have to be loosened? Looks like a lockingnut for the thread.?

Don't touch that big nut that holds the spring together, the adjuster nut is the one on the other end between the idler side arms, you will need to slacken the two bolts which hold the side arms together to turn the adjuster.
Don't do anything with the spring until you fully understand how it is held down and the dangers involved, it is a potential bomb with about 15-20 tons pressure on it. It is a shock absorber, not a tensioner.
