Go to Post Machinery tends to make chips fly into weird places. Lathes and mills are particularly good at this, though drill presses are skilled as well. - Karibou [more]

I'll answer this one (but not many others). That spiral thing is there to act as a mini cam thingy that moves the largest pulley and tightens the track. When you turn it, it presses against the bolt, and slides the axle of the pulley down a slot in the frame. Works pretty well.
Darn! I was going to answer! It took me a few seconds, but I figured out it was for tensioning the tracks.
