Both tracks drive, however to that point, the side that keeps throwing tracks is the side that I cant turn to (I think the brake/clutch are shot) It is always under load, but I can't turn that way. (Got this unit about a month ago with the house purchase I made).

As in the chain part of the track? A couple are really bad, but for the most part, not terribly bad.

Ok, replaced tensioner, put track back on, got it much tighter than before, used machine for a while, and bam track came off yet again. Any suggestions why this thing keeps coming off?

Ok, skipping the steering clutch on the right hand side now... Cut off the tensioner today with an angle grinder. Have a replacement home made job here, looks exactly like the old one. Question though... Is there a recommended easy way to put the track back on? I am just about killing myself with my...

Well, lots of great information, I will be sure to post my progress (although it will be slow at this point, as I have just moved into my new home. The bonus (as I illuded to earlier, is that I have a BIG shop, and just need to get the power run into it, then I can move all my Air tools / Compressor...

There should be an access plate on the top of each steering clutch housing held on by 4 bolts. Excellent! Thank you Tigerhaze! Second question I have, is if they require replacing, ...

I have the service manual, however it isnt clear to me the location of the clutches another thing I "THOUGHT" I figured out from it was the handle you can bull down (on the left hand side of the console) which I thought was the "REVERSER", however when I pull it down and let the clutch out, it just ...

Hi,

Great info there for my tensioners. But I am in desperate need of as much detail on where to access and adjust steering clutches / brakes as well! Thanks for this bit, happen to have info on the other? Pictures are great too, if someone has already completed a photo series on it!

Hello, I have been digging around for quite some time here and have yet to find exactly what I am looking for. I acquired this beauty crawler with my recent house purchase, it runs & drives, however the right hand steering does very little. I was hoping to have a look at the steering clutches / brak...
