Straight to the point thank you!!! Other videos are 10 minutes long, 8 minutes explaining their lives amd 2 minutes to show how it's done! Great video

[@Carrotrentals]

Thanks. Looking back I could have even made it a bit shorter. Its such a miserable task.

[@WilleJamesHuff]

And don’t forgot the intro videos then the whatsss up Guys

[@PinballEvangelist]

6 years after uploading your video still helping others.... I borrowed a friend's mini excavator and your video helped me fix the track which came off and got it sorted in 20 min. Thanks a lot.

If the Terminator hired a fleet manager.... How did you count how many pumps that was so fast? No BS, sweet safety glasses, and robot-speed counting ability. Love it!!

[@stevepetschel960]

Thanks for the video, just had my first thrown track today on my little kubota and not quite sure how to go about fixing it. You just answered my questions so now I don’t have to read and decipher the service manual. Cheers. 😎

[@Ben-nj3lv]

Thank you from the south of France, your tip just saved me loads of time and money, plus you don’t waffle on like most other video makers, you’re a legend Sir!

Well you got right to the title of your video and then made it simple… and yes I am in the woods.

[@victoryvisiontour]

Great useful information. Kudos for keeping it simple and getting straight to the point. This will make my life easier. Thanks!

[@nadianichols953]

Deep in the woods, with lots of mud. Crowbar could've been longer, but track is back on. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your procedure for fixing thrown tracks

[@ryankerr1266]

Thank you couldn't figure out why grease wasnt coming out you proved my point that, that bushing comes off

[@spacelingmartiens243]

Great video. Exactly what I needed to see in a very short period of time.

[@daneyalahmadi1284]

Thanks for showing this

[@GranitePropServices]

Cool. Feel less like jumping off a cliff

[@ReZipped]

Hey dude, thanks for posting this. As I write this my Kubota KX04-4 with a thrown track is sitting at the bottom of a draw with 3.5" of rain in the forecast. Your video was EXTREMELY helpful. I'm going to take a crack at getting it back on tomorrow morning. I am an amputee with only a right arm, but watching you I think I can do it. I appreciate you contributing to the public knowledge base. It might save me a $500 (or so) service call. You rock!

[@Carrotrentals]

I am glad it helped. Avoiding a service call is the way to go. Let me know how it worked out.

[@ReZipped]

Axiom Excavator Rental The track was sitting crossways with the idler end towards the inside and wedged against the house. The drive end was also off (not completely) but on the outside. I was able to get the track off the ground by rotating the house just a bit without tearing the cowling off, and then used the boom and dipper to press down. The part that hung me up was when I opened up the grease bushing, no grease came out and the track remained extended. In the end I called the service guy and he had to use a handyman jack to press between the blade and the idler. Once it was retracted, I know I could have done it just like you showed with a big spud bar and a lot of effort. Everything he did, I could have done, but the handyman jack would have been a challenge keeping both ends positioned while cranking the jack. As it was I had to help the service guy hold one end. Long story short, next time I’ll be good to go. (I’ll also keep a better eye on my track tension. :-) )

[@Carrotrentals]

@@ReZipped So the bull wheel was frozen and that's probably why the track came off in the first place. you should be good to go now. Keep an eye on the track tension. Check every 35 hours or so.

[@tvs3497]

Yep, I be putting my track back on. Started today but didn't have the right size socket. Now I do. And a nice long wrecking bar to persuade the track.

[@Carrotrentals]

Glad it helped

[@dallas_hadenfeldt4264]

Great video Phil

[@kierancasserley4296]

Thanks from the UK Buddy, did my kx41 in 15 minutes after watching this.

[@Carrotrentals]

Glad it helped.

[@williamcorbell2902]

Thank you sir.

[@stevet.piwowarczykjr1186]

Great job

[@kv0z]

Thank you

[@bernardcorbally6555]

what did you pump into it was it grease or air

[@natersoz2]

You da boss. Damn.

[@Ø.G.S4GE]

Ty

[@danielnuttall5945]

Top Man ,Thanks

[@Carrotrentals]

Thanks. Glad it helped

[@popeyesailor2191]

Grease pressure keeps the trac tension? Thats it?

[@Carrotrentals]

Yes sir that's what keeps the tension and why a goog grease gun helps.

[@timmolloy665]

🙌🏽

[@slickrickjones]

Where did the grease go???

[@feliperuiz5332]

My fucking hero! Thanks

[@jeffwilliams5658]

To tight on track.
Other than that good job

[@Niberspace]

This tutorial makes no sense. So he released the grease tension but never tightened it again? Everything he pumps will just go back out

[@swdw197478]

How do you replace the idler pully
