just bought my fist mc crawler
run's great,had to back off the trac sdjuster's ,the man I bought it from just had new pin's & bushing done last year and had not driven it much,so I drove in around a bit and they did not loosing up, started to check up on it ,they had all the spring's cranked up so tight it would not even roll, so I back off quite a bit, how tight shoud they be? thank's Dave .
About an inch sag from sprocket to idler. If the tracks sat long enough to have set up some, best way to loosen them up is run in water or snow.

Hyd oil is fine, might be bad bearings in pump, or may just need the bypass setup.

900 psi, anything more and you will wear out your pump. Alas new equipment wont allow anything lower than 1500. So plan to rebuild the pump eventually.
