SN 6ZL00259 D5C Does anyone have the CAT track tension adjustment procedure for the D5C. I had it but lost the email and need it again. thanks ahead
It is in the operators manual if it is still in the machine , below is instructions straight from SIS minus the few pictures cant figure out how to get them here , and the instructions dont give a track sag diminesion for this unit , dont make tracks too tight
Tracks Adjust Move the machine forward at least twice the length of the machine. Allow the machine to coast to a stop. Do not apply the brakes to stop the machine. NOTICE Do not attempt to tighten track when dimension (1) is less than 19 mm (.75 inches). Contact your Caterpillar dealer for track service or instructions. 1. Remove the adjusting valve cover. 2. Add grease (MPGM) through the adjusting valve (2) until track is tight. 3. Make a mark on the roller frame 10 mm (3/8 inch) behind idler bearing support (4). Be sure there is space for the front idler to retract. 4. Open the relief valve (3) one turn only and allow the idler to move back. Moving the machine in reverse will help to move the idler back. 5. Close the relief valve. 6. Add grease (MPGM) through the adjusting valve (2) until the mark on the roller frame is aligned with the rear edge of the idler bearing support. 7. Install the valve cover. 8. Repeat procedure on the other track.
I'll give it a try with pictures:
