My left track came off and went to the out side of the sprocket and stoped at the edge of the track pads, the screw won't turn for the front idler so I can get some slack in the chain and the screw is also broke. Can I unbolt the screw for the front idler it goes in a bracket that has four bolts, the bracket is in front of a Big spring, If I unbolt the bracket will the big spring take my head off??? Thanks for the Help. Michael/WV

You don't want to fool with that recoil spring, it will do more than take your head off if it gets away from you while doing so. In the D7 book,( track frame should be the same, just different sizes ) they show the procedure and also show a dimensioned drawing on how to fabricate a device to deal with this spring properly, used in conjunction with a hydraulic press, I believe to compress it, relieve pressure, so you can get the recoil bolt out, which I think is also the adjuster. Although your track adjuster is broke, I beleive there is still compression on that spring, you'll need to fix that adjuster, might pay to have someone do the work,that has the tools to deal with it, get the book that is for your serial number machine, and take a look, you can ask on the a.c.m.o.c bulletin board too, they'll give you some tips on it

If the sprocket has holes in it you can thread a short piece of chain thru a hole and thru the track links. Bolt the ends together because you won't be able to release a hook. Take up the chain slack by stopping the other track and then drive ahead slowly. I've done this many times with my JD 420.

most of the time a dozer will track itself back on if you go exactly the reverse of how it was going when it came off. If you were going forward & turning right, you should go in reverse to the left. If you have a winch sometimes you can hook it to the track & help pull it on.
