• Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Have Larry Lugs been tested for reliability
  A: Absolutely. We have several thousand hours of testing on several sized CAT / ASV Multi Terrain Skid Loaders and a wide variety of terrains.
  • Q: Will the bolts pull through the tracks?
  A: No. The double laminated Kevlar belt design is very durable.  During testing we have found that in extreme cases the bolts may break before the Kevlar belts will tear.
  • Q: Does drilling the holes in the tracks weaken them?
  A. No. The process of bolting on Larry Lugs actually makes the laminate stronger as they pull the multi layers of rubber and Kevlar together to prevent delamination. In some cases of delamination we have saved tracks that otherwise would have been discarded.
  • Q: Will the head of the bolts scratch concrete, asphalt or other susceptible surfaces?
  A: No. The bolts are specific “button head screw type” which bury into the rubber tread.
  • Q: How long do Larry Lugs last?
  A: Larry Lugs will most likely outlive the life of the track itself. Larry Lugs are not only a one-time fix, they can be removed and reinstalled on different tracks as needed.
  • Q: How difficult are Larry Lugs to install?
  A: Larry Lugs are simple to install and do not require any “special tools”.  Lugs can be installed out in the field or shop in under 10 minutes. The track does not need to be removed but can be to install numerous new lugs. Tools needed but not supplied by Bair Products are: ½” Drill Bit, Air Impact, 5/16 hex bit, Angle Grinder)
  • Q: How many lugs should I replace at one time?
  A: The is totally up to you. If you identify the first lug missing and the adjacent lugs are still ok, just replace the broken one. If all lugs are in bad condition, you can replace them all guarantying no more downtime due to drive lug problems.
  • Q: How long will the Track Drill Template and Bair’s 4” Carbide Grinding wheel last?
  A: The steel template will last for years as long as the pre-drilled holes have not been “over” drilled or “wallowered out”. The Carbide wheel is the best we have found and will last two mechanics over a year if it is not used on any other surface other than the rubber tracks.
  • Q. Could the track tension cause the rubber drive lugs to fail?
