JDcrawlers Messageboard

What I am wondering is if I do nothing to the adjuster as far as freeing it, can I expect to get 1.5 - 2 inches of slack as the new track wears in?

Do you think I can expect sufficient slackening of the track from using the machine. Again these are new tracks.

Thanks for your advise. I'll see how it goes pulling it out.

With the bolt removed, can the ball be depressed someway to clear hardened grease?

If the adjuster piston is jammed, is there a way to unjam it?

I loosened the button grease fitting and the pressure release bolt.
What is the bolt that holds the check ball in?
I did try putting wood between the 6way blade and the end of the track. The wood split but nothing moved.

After installing new tracks haven't been able to move the track adjuster on one side of the crawler. I am trying to lessen the tension on the tracks but I cant get it to budge. Tension adjuster worked fine getting the old tracks off and pumping grease into the adjuster after installing the tracks. N...

Recently had new tracks installed, idler rebuilt, replaced worn rollers. The mechanic greased everything but I felt the tracks were too tight so asked to loosen them. One side released fine but the other wont release. Any ideas why it wont slacken?
