420C Track adjustment

[jdman123]

I was wondering how much trouble it is to adjust my tracks up on my 420c 5 roller. From the looks of it I don't think it has been moved in a long time. I noticed that someone had a track adjuster on e-bay for a 430c or 420c and the decription said that it was a hydraulic track adjuster. I did not think that they have one. I know that there are two long bolts on each side that go through the springs. Any tips?

Thanks
Shawn

Hello, if it were me and it looks like the adjusters have not been touched in a long time, then I would take them off and rebuild them. It takes some 1" all thread and some 1" inch nuts. About 6 feet of all thread and 8 nuts and assoc hardware. I rebuilt my 420 about 8 years ago and do not regret it. Also, it would be a good time to check you front idler bushings. Just my two cents worth. Tom.

P.S. I also saw the hydraulic adjuster and am puzzled by it.

Hyd adjuster were an option, but what he has on E-bay is only a portion of the adjuster, there is no where near enough parts to make it work.
