Well the darn track is back on. I never did get the thing apart. I hit the thing and heated and it never did move. Well the good news is it is back on and the bad news is when I tightened it up the seal is out of the slack adjuster. I realize that this buy was a disaster. Made decision that this baby is going and I will start the to look again for another problem. If anyone has a suggestion let it fly. I need something in a similar size. Thanks for all the advice as I used a little of all of it. By the way how would you sell this critter as a parts machine or tell someone all of its problems.

Roy I only weighed between 130 and 150 in my prime. anybody can get in a dozen solid blows with a big hammer. I am pusing 70 and still swing a 20 with the best of them and I am also now a fatty! Somewhee in my basement is a 49 pound hammer that came from a GA chain gang camp. I never tried to use it, I carried it for a conversation peice. I wish I could find a handle for it, it takes one that looks like a short pick handle.

Roy is right about taking a tractor mech with you. Leave the auto truck guys at home. The track is a lot easier to break when it is on. You are going to have to take the track apart to repair the adjuster. Find you a tractor mech with a deceant sledge hammer, at least a 16, a 20 is better. When I was younger I carried a 32 pounder, it only takes a few solid blows to drive out a pin. If all else fails take your torch and blow a hole in each end of the pin, let it cool,dont throw water on it.

Hey Bob....How friggin big are you?? A 32 lb sledgehammer?? I doubt if I can pick one up , let alone swing it with any accuracy...18 to 20 is more like it.... We used to have a guy that would swing round-houses with a sledge to break track bolts off at the old Deere dealership..

Take a reputable heavy equipment mechanic with you next time..I've looked over some real junk for people..A thorough look by someone experienced will save a lot of aggrevation..If it costs you a couple of hundred dollars , so be it.. I'm not a real advocate of Deere hydrostatic dozers..I've been on the repairing end of it too many years..I can't believe they still continued to sell those things..Oh , I know someone out there has owned 40 of them and never had a problem...Yeah , Right..I have yet to see an older one track straight..C patterns , J patterns, U patterns..Creep in neutral..Narrow final drive gears that shed metal when they start to go bad..Someone out there will say that all those tracking patterns can be adjusted out..Something about when pigs fly comes to mind..I've been there...Adjusting control valve pressures under the floorboards , pull-downs , displacement control valves and servo cans....I always recommend a steering clutch machine.. How about a nice D-5 or a Case 1150...Don't get me wrong , there are junk 5's and 1150's out there too..Take someone familiar with the particular machine with you.. Now , I'm through..Someone else can take the soapbox..

 No doubt about it in reply to Roy Suomi, 09-03-2007 20:43:10  
I too believe that the hydro in these early machines that were wore out years ago are about impossible to keep up. Why a nearly new undercarriage has drive pins? I don't understand. THanks for the advice.
