Adjust Track Sag

IMPORTANT: Prevent possible damage to track components. DO NOT use the grease fitting on the track adjusting cylinder for lubrication. Use this fitting ONLY for track adjustment.

1. To adjust track tension, locate access hole (A) below front carrier roller.

NOTE: Proper track adjustment is critical to get maximum wear life for track pins and bushings. Tight track increases stress at the sprocket to bushing contact surfaces causing accelerated wear. Proper track adjustment can only be done with the tractor in its working environment. Packing conditions tighten track and accelerate pin and bushing wear.

2. To tighten track, connect a grease gun to grease fitting (A). Add grease until sag is within recommended limits.

To loosen track tension, slowly loosen valve (C) to release pressure. Grease will escape from a relief passage (D) in valve. When sag is within recommended limits, tighten valve.
