John, open the release fitting. Then put a piece of steel about 2 1/2" to 3" in dia and a foot long(old linkage pin) in the sprocket near the track chain, KEEP FINGERS CLEAR and have someone back the tractor up. This will will tighten the chain enough to force it back. It will likely be as seized then as it is now and need to be forced apart with a press or puller. Let me know how far apart you are taking it and I will tell you what to do next.

One more thing John, the adjuster cyl is seized around the outside because the pilot it is mounted in tips forward over time due to wear. Clean the outside with emery cloth and lubricate it before you force the cyl in and you might be able to move it forward again with a grease gun. Email me if you like address on other post.

I am in the process of having the worn out bushings repaired by cutting out pieces of hardened bushing stock andwelding it in place where the bushing is worn through which is all of them as the machine wouldn't move hardly I have the track apart already so if there is a way to do it without putting the track back together it would save me cosiderable work doing it myself thank you for anymore info you could provide me Iam having my neighbor who is indust. welder do the bushings for me thank you

Okay John, I think I know where you are at. Since the track is split and you have it on the ground. I would sugest you remove the idler bolts to the yoke. This will let the idler extension rod from the track adjuster fall down a bit. Then clean up the outer surface of the track adjuster cyl as in the other post. Slap the extension rod downward with a sledge hammer then try to force it out with the grease gun as in tightening the track. You likely can free it up this way and force the adjuster back to couple the track. Email me for more information.
