I repaired an old D6 about 20 years ago with 1/2 inch square bar. I
used whatever rod I had around, the bigger the better! My welder was a
Libby 300 amp with a 6cyl chrysler. I remember using some rods that I
had bought at a sale. They were sorta old, bad, and had been wet, but
they burned. Some were 1/4 inch! It took about 3 evenings and It is
still working. We put a track chain on one side, and I still have the
other track chain, but not installed. To remove the plates from a
chain, chain off the machine. Hit the nuts about 5 seconds with a round
shank bit in a air hammer, hit the bolt head with a 3 lb sledge hammer
about 4 times, take the bolt off with an impact wrench. Dip the bolt in
used motor oil before putting it back in...
