Step 4:
Using a cordless impact driver or ratchet
with 3/4” socket and 3/4” wrench, now loosen the
“Inner Welded” Nuts on both sides of the ma-
chine,
approx. half-way down the threads. See
below.
Step 5:
Now work
back to the outside of the ma-
chine.
Using a cordless impact driver or ratchet
with 3/4” socket and 3/4” wrench, loosen
“Outer”
nuts on both sides of the machine
until they are
at the end of the threads, but still on the bolts. See
top picture, above.
Step 6:
Now work
back to the inside of the ma-
chine.
Using a cordless impact driver or ratchet
with 3/4” socket and 3/4” wrench, loosen
“Inner
Welded” nuts on both sides of the machine
until they are at the end of the threads, but still on
the bolts. See bottom picture, above.
Step 7:
To ensure that both Front Idlers (on each
side) have moved rearward, using a mallet, pound
on each track & front idler in the area shown
below. Do this to both sides. See the picture at the
top of the next column. Your front idlers should
have moved rearward during Steps 1-7.
Both tracks should now be loosened. To re-
move your tracks, continue onto the next sec-
tion below.
REMOVING THE RUBBER TRACKS
Before attempting to remove the tracks, see the
picture below to provide background on how the
total Rubber Track System is adjusted and main-
tained. Follow the procedure for loosening the
tracks from the previous pages prior to following
these instructions.
Below is a photo to aid you in parts identification
as you read the following procedures. For clarity,
only the parts described in the instructions are in-
cluded in the drawings and photos. In some
cases, to lessen confusion, certain parts do not
appear in the following photos.
Note: Front idlers may vary in design.
The
track removing procedure is still the same.
