Hello All! First, thanks to all for past help. I've got my shop up and running, got CNC machine going, and doing good. Really need to change my logon name!
I'm looking at a job for a guy who has a takeuchi excavator. The track rollers and shafts are wore out. I'm looking at making him some new ones but not sure what material to use. I'm guessing they're harder than plain low carbon HR steel. Thinking of going with something like 1040 or a chromoly. Then heat treating them to maybe Rockwell C of 35-40? Any recommendations?
I appreciate it!
