Sticky track adjuster on 350 dozer

[gcgrant]

The left track on my 350 has gotten quite slack and I have'nt been able to get the adjuster to move with a grease gun. I was putting quite a bit of pressure on it and was afraid of blowing seals.
I thought about using the hydraulics on the six way blade to assist in breaking the sticky adjuster loose. I put a chain around the adjuster and attached it out to the corner of the blade and used the blade angle hydraulics to put tension on the adjuster while I applied pressure with the grease gun.
Right away the grease started to go in and I now have a functioning adjuster!

Hi !

Good to hear it worked , I undid both of my adjuster during my winter maintenance and I won't regret , sesl were very tired of being there alone in the dark !!

Always handy to have hydraulic power to help !!
