I hate to be all cheerful and full of praise but, holy moly and bop doo-wah, that's disturbingly adequate! -- Russ

Thanks guys for your comments. Well, this tractor has been on the shelf for a long time.
First thing finish the detail on the axle and paint.
I needed a new holding jig for keeping the two front wheels and the tractor together

Photo #1... The first jig and the new one holding together the two front wheel


Photo #2... The jig holding the tractor in place.

I left room between the bottom of the model and the base on the jig, for the tracks the ladder chain needs to go around the back and front wheels and then hooked together (Tamiya Ladder Chain #70142), then glue the parts together.
After building up and painting all the pads I will add them to the chain.

Photo #3... pads (42)

The pads are made from styrene tile squares,and a .188x.188 styrene square tube .125 long.
#1- .188x.188 styrene square tube .125 long. Glue onto part #2.
#2-  1/3 t1le square one tile x two tile.
#3-  3/16 tile square two tile x three tile. Glue #3 and #4 together.
#4-  3/16 tile square three tile x three tile.
Glue all together and paint.
