Track Gearbox
After approximately five years of use the track gearbox oil will need
changing, this is just a gear oil available from motor factors, grade EP90.
Track and Track Bearings
The Track Bearings should be frequently greased using a good quality
grease gun, again from a motor factor; the grease is Brown Low Melting
grade. This should be done at least once per month if the machine is busy
and especially in sandy or gritty environments. The bearings should be
pumped with grease into one end grease nipple with the bearing on the
rail moving slowly along; until the dirty grease stops coming out around
the sides onto the rail.
Running with dry bearings will be noisy and produce loose shaky shoots,
and will considerably shorten the life of the bearings and the bearing rail.
As soon as any track bearing becomes slightly loose on the rail or noisy,
or has been damaged or has any balls missing from its four raceways, it
should be replaced.
