This is the kind of training heavy equipment technicians need nowadays , I worked in John Deere for years and we never learned any of this glad I switched to repairing Cat !

[@trevormartin7017]

maybe it is a question of do you want to maintain the machine or sell parts :)

[@MacintoshBoy66]

You tighten them up. There is a grease fitting for each track that you pump grease into which pushes out the idler wheel to tighten the track.

Just started learning Diesel plant fitting, this is great stuff Jeff

[@itsbobforfun62]

Great video Jeff. Your advice about extending the life of the digger is spot on, I have been asked why we have 'Leading' and 'Trailing' shoes on the track? And what would happen if the track was fitted the other way? It would appear that the track would grip better in wet slippery conditions, but I've never heard of anyone trying it. What are your thoughts?

[@farmingboysYT]

we always learn to dig over the sprockets in school so the cylinders at the back of your idlers do t get wear

[@robertkinholt621]

Not sure about the newer ones, but some of the old girl's we use to have to check the house and grease
