My track fell off when i was cutting a road into the side of a bluff and clearing the stumps at the same time. I was turning backwards and the right side track kinda pinched on against a rock and popped off. Whats the best way to get it back on?

What has worked for me when the track get off is first to check that the links are on the segments. Put a big lot or truck rim and reverse the machine back. As you reverse the chain will start going in. Hope this works.

Hi Case 450,
One of mine will fall off every time I reverse my machine if I do not keep an eye on it. But, my bottom rollers on that side are completely worn out and I do not need the machine enough to replace them. So, I put it back on. Dale did a good job explaining the process. Very straight forward. Be super careful and use pry bars instead of putting an arm or leg under the machine. Also, make sure grease gun is plenty full if you do not carry spare with you. Frustrating if you have to leave to go fill your gun.
BTW - Mine is setting right now with the track off. I have completed my work with it so I moved it to the top of my property to load it up and sell. Just as I approached where I intended to park it, I spun around to get the rear a little higher than the front and the track spun off the idler. I should have known. That was about 4 weeks ago. Maybe this weekend I will get time to go put it on. He He

Good luck.

I'm a little rusty on Case, but here goes.
Get that side of the tractor off the ground a little bit using the blade or bucket (whichever you have). Make sure the track is under the bottom rollers as straight as possible.
There should be a relief valve near the grease fitting on the adjuster. Open it and let the grease out to collapse the adjuster. You will have to take a couple of large pry bars to walk the track back onto the idler. Once the track is on, make sure it is lined up with all the bottom rollers, and is on the top roller. Let the tractor back on the ground, make sure the relief valve on the adjuster is closed, and adjust it back out with your grease gun.

A helper or two never hurts, just be careful not to get under ANY of it (tractor, track, etc.), and don't let the track pinch you. These machines have no conscience at all, so be careful.

It's not as hard as it may sound. After the first time, you will almost be an expert.

Good luck,
Dale(MO)

Make sure it is the relieve valve you loosen and not the grease fitting, this is under a lot of pressure and can hurt you bad if it blows out and hits you
