What happens here

Locate the cover plate on the side of the loader's track system. Using a wrench, remove the two bolts holding this cover plate in place. Once the bolts are removed, pull the cover plate off to expose the grease fitting and the cylinder responsible for track tension. Next, unscrew the grease fitting (often referred to as a Zerk fitting) to prepare for releasing pressure from the track tensioning cylinder.

Goal: Prepare to release tension from the track
