Are u sure its a 144" track

 

[abacab]

called where i got the extensions,he said a 144"should have 57 lugs and it does,and that it should fit but its way off.

A pic of the issue would help a lot.

Is the tensioner backed off as far as it goes?

 

[abacab]

Yes the adjusters are backed all the way off,the wheels are loosened.I checked #s on both tracks the one i took off is a 121 and the one going on is a 144.The rail length from where the hyfax bolts on to where it ends is 56".The rail length on the skid the track came off is 53".

Why would the front arm mounting holes be 3 inches off if you're just adding rail extensions? They should stay in stock mounting position no? Unless I'm misinterpretating your info.

Extensions

If your extensions are indeed 12.5 then your adding 25 inches to the 121 length for a total of 146 inches.
