Why are you removing them then???

Metal traction device (stud) law: Minnesota DNR

"May I cut the studs off, without totally removing them from the track and still be in compliance?
Yes, as long as they are shorter than the track. "

Good luck Mike. You should be all warmed up to work on mine soon.

Good evening guys!

Busy night in here so far! Well I worked on the motor again tonight and managed to get the pistons, rear main seal, oil pump, camshaft and lifters in. Should have the rest of it together by the end of the week.

Trust me I know as Beth was reminding me a lot that I forgot them.

Lots of decent used tracks around for $150 or less. There is a place near you in Clearwater that parts sleds out and lists stuff daily on craigslist.
