Install New Snow Track
At 7:29 in
Testing a TracK changing tool on the cat skid steer
What happens here
Once the old track is removed, the new snow track is positioned and carefully guided onto the machine's rollers and sprocket. The track handler tool assists in maneuvering the track into place. After the track is partially on, the grease gun (Milwaukee M18 Fuel) is used to pump grease into the track tensioner, which is visible as a port on the track frame. This action extends a cylinder, pushing the idler wheel forward and effectively tightening the track to the correct tension. The presenter highlights the importance of precise tensioning, noting a specific measurement (two 'nose pickers') that needs to be just right – not too loose and not too tight.
Goal: The new snow track is installed by guiding it onto the rollers and then tensioning it using a grease gun.
