  i was a VM(a) (tank mechanic) in the REME for 6 years and unless theyve changed things in the 5 years since i left we never once changed tracks round and as far as i remember they only run one way. so sorry woody, looks like your leg was being pulled!

i have never heard of anything like that happening with the tracks of A vehicles (tanks). it sounds like someone was pulling your leg!  :lol:

Sider:
On the M60 tanks, the pads on the tracks were non-directional, and you could mount them either way, but most other tracked vehicles I've worked with had a sort of pattern on the pads, and were one way only. I've never heard of anyone turning the track around, though, you only change the track when it wears (or you need to work on the wheels), and it is a bloody difficult and arduous job, so you only do it when necessary.
