Hello all... 1st posting... have mercy pls. :-)
I have a 1930 Oliver 192D (18") that I restored about 25yrs ago. Still works great
but, I have now replaced the blade (1/4") with 1/2" along with new tires (urethane)
and I just can not seem to get the blade tracking into mid-point.
These wheels are flat... the blade will constantly track to the outside. I've read where some
say that is fine, others not so much. Any ideas. (And even with the upper wheel at an
extreme angle it does not matter much). And I know that is not good either.
I was considering (because the wheels are flat, and crowning the belt is not an option)
putting an artificial crown on the wheel about 1/4" wide.
THOUGHTS. SUGGESTIONS. And thanks in advance!
