My friend got himself a nice D6C and was using it to clear an area behind his house. Of course the first day he was using it, he drove it out of one of the tracks. The right side came off luckily only about 6" toward the machine. We need to loosen the track and get it back on. I've read about some of the machines where you use a grease gun to push the piston out and tighten the track. Does this machine use that type of system? And how do I loosen it? I see a large screw near the grease fitting. It comes to a point. I'm thinking that will release the grease and let the piston come back? Anyone done this on one of therse machines? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the info guys. We got the track back on and tightened up. We're going to snug up the other track also. Thanks again.

You should have the hydraulic (grease) track adjuster,never attempt to loosen the filling valve till you let the pressure off first by opening the relief valve,there is a picture of an adjuster at the link below,you use the same grease as is for the rest of the machine.

Richard, take a 7/8" wrench and loosen the tallest one and the adjuster will release the grease and the idler can be moved back. Tighten and add grease to tighten the track. Force idlers out untill tracks are tight/as far as you can. THen release the fitting again and let the idler back 1/2" loose.
Later Bob
