Upgrading my skid Loader for Snow 4K

What happens here

After both new tracks are installed, use a grease gun to re-tension them. Locate the grease zerk fitting on the track tensioning mechanism. Pump grease into the fitting until the track reaches the recommended tension (refer to the machine's operator's manual for specific tensioning instructions, often indicated by a specified sag or gap). Once tensioned, replace the track tension release bolt cover if applicable. Finally, use the second skid steer with forks to carefully lift the main skid steer, remove the support blocks, and lower it back to the ground.

Goal: Properly tension new tracks and return the skid steer to operational status
