HD3 track adjustment/link removal

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   With a track press they unbolt one side of track from pads , leaving other side attached to links . Then push pins out of track , then push the bushing out of the link so have link and bushing on one side and pad and link on other side and pin in separate pile .
 Finish pushing the bushing out of link - turn 180 so worn side is now on top next to pad push link onto bushing - move to next set and do the same , then join that group to 1st by pushing in pin but also turning it 180 - keep doing it until you get to master pin - push in new bushing (if you have one) and a new master pin - as this pin and bushing gets the most wear as the bushing is shorter and requires spacers and shims . bolt track pads back onto links - 
with the new split link that bolt together with pad bolts sure makes part of the process easier - no pounding out or in of the master pin
