Does anyone have the proper track tension procedure for a D5H dozer, need to service one this week and the proper manual is on order but two weeks out Thanks
Correct adjustment gives dimension (2) of 100 ± 10 mm (3.93 ± .40 in) Track adjuster extension dimension (1) should not exceed 105mm (4.1 inch)
Drive the tractor forward and allow it to stop without using brakes. If it don't have a carrier roller use above info. if it has a carrier roller measure the sag between the sprocket and carrier roller and the front idler and carrier roller. Average the two sag should be 2" each. Bob
When the D5hlgp first came out around late 1987, it didn't have a carrier roller. I complained to to dealer but got no where. I wrote a letter to the company and explained what I thought was a defect and should have come with the roller. After a few more letters, the dealer told me the factory authorized a fix. Yep, I got my roller installed, I payed for parts they installed for free.
From then on all D5hlgp came with a carrier roller. Not an option, you always got the roller.
