Track Tensioner Spring
Track Tensioner Spring
I am wondering if track adjuster springs seize up ever. Last year I acquired two used spring assemblies for my 350B. When I redid my steering on the left side and installed a new track I replaced the broken spring with the new used spring. Everything worked fine all season, but I felt like the track idler did not move back and forth very much. Mine seemed to only move around a half an inch based on fresh wear marks. I just felt that was not enough. What would be typical movement?

Unless you have the crawler stood on it's nose in the bottom of a hole under extreme load, or run a rock or something through the tracks, I would not expect them to ever move for the most part.

Before I got new pads with relief holes cut, bound up snow would shake your teeth when the chain jumped teeth on the sprocket.

I’ve got no worries then. Got too used to my previous broken springs. Thanks again.
