Need track and some bogies. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the track? I can't tell it's condition from the pics?
Thanks, Ron

Joe- Hope you didn't get any damage from the twisters last night. Boy Granbury got whacked pretty good. They were reporting on the Lubbock news one tornado was estimated to be a mile wide. I've been down here over 30 years and I'm still not used to the superstorms they get down here. Back in '95, we...

Hi joe- Thanks for the advice and welcome to Texas. How long have you been down here? What part of NY state are you from. Many moons ago, I lived in the Buffalo then Allegany/Olean area. Still have a sister in Olean. When I was in high school, I had a Scorpion Mark l. That's my only experience with ...

As I mentioned in the new member post, I picked up the JD600 last friday. Thanks to this site, I was able to determine it was a 1974 model(6000C), has steel gas tank. Overall, the sled is complete with 973 miles, but missing windshield. Track doesn't look too bad other than a small chunk taken out o...
