What happens here

After the new tracks are in place, the final step for installation is to properly tension them. This is achieved by using a grease gun to pump grease into the tensioning mechanism of the undercarriage. The video demonstrates this, highlighting the distinct clicking sound of each pump of grease as the tracks tighten to the recommended 1 to 1.5 inches of sag at the bottom for optimal performance.

Goal: Ensure proper track tension for optimal performance

Tools and materials

  • CAT 259D Skid Steer Caterpillar — The machine with tracks being tensioned
  • Grease Gun Unspecified — Pumping grease to tension the tracks
  • Grease Unspecified — Providing hydraulic pressure to tension the tracks

forearms like Popeye that's about where it was before or is it later now no it's just stuck where it was before but they said they were both loose yeah they were loose we really want to test out these tracks and we also want to test out this camp machine to see how well it actually does in snow this is our first chance and really put in either one of these to the test and sort of make it even more difficult we're gonna stockpile all of the snow from this horseshoe and then tackle it all at once
