Default Track squeaking noise

Hi guys,
I am new here and was wondering if you got some ideas how to get rid of an annoying squeaking noise while being out in the woods.
We shot a little video and at time frame 3:59, 4:19 and 4:25 you can hear it loud and clear.
Any ideas,
Thanks,
Ramona

Ok, I want one of those gun mounts.

Very nice quad too.

One of the members here, Mongrol, has put tracks on his quad too. Hopefully he'll see this and be able to give you some help on the squeak.

It looks like the squeak is coming from the right front when the suspension goes up and down on that side. I'd check out the suspension and put some lithium grease on anything suspect.

Is that a real minigun??? Where do you folks live and what does he do for a living? I'm intrigued!

I'd love to see the reactions of that liberal bastion known as Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I don't know what is causing the squeak, but if you let me have it for a few months I bet I will figure it out for you.
A spare tire?????????
