You have wide-width tracks if the tracks are more
than 23 cm (9 inches) wide.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking
brake, and lower the loader arms.
2. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
3. Lift/support the side of the unit to be worked on so
that the track is 7.6 to 10 cm (3 to 4 inches) off the
ground.
4. Remove the locking bolt and nut ( Figure 59 ).
5. Using a 1/2-inch drive ratchet, release the drive tension
by turning the tensioning screw clockwise (

Ensure that the lugs in the track fit between the
spacers in the middle of the drive sprocket.

removed previously (
Figure 62 ).
14. Torque the nut to 300 ft-lb (407 N∙m).
15. Turn the tensioning screw counter-clockwise until the
tensioning screw bottoms out.
16. Align the closest notch in the tension screw to the
locking bolt hole and secure the screw with the locking
bolt and nut.
17. Torque the rear bolt to 108 to 122 N∙m (80 to 90 ft-lb).
18. Lower the machine to the ground.
19. Repeat the procedure to replace the other track.
20. Drive the machine, then park the machine on a level
surface, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine,
and remove the key.
