Last week we had almost 4 inches of rain overnight. Had our 690B parked about 80' from the ditch, on a little knoll. We ended up with a flood that covered 3/4 of the track. I just wonder what all I will need to check/replace? track rollers? drive motors? tensioners? What do you fellas think.

I have a 690B also. The propel brake (between the drive motor and final drive) has a vent on the top. If it got water inside, the steel brake plates will rust and cause problems. I would open the drain plug on the final drives and see if there is any water at the bottom. Change the lube if there is any doubt, a lot cheaper than rebuilding final drives.

Shouldn't need to check anything..They're made to " mud "..What's the difference between mud and water...???? There's no vents that low to allow water in..If you feel strongly about it , Check the finals...
