i was wondering why a 100e international track loader thought to be a 78 would have mechanical track adjusters. its my first machine trying to learn about it. any knowledge would be appreciated.
I don't know a lot about the International. I have a 1978 Cat D4E dozer and a 1978 Cat 951C track loader and they both have the hydraulic grease fitting to adjust the tracks. Congrats on the first machine. I am fairly new around here myself. You can read about my experience here on the track loader forum and on the dozer forum. There is a lot of knowledge available on this forum for the asking. I hope you have lots of big wrenches and don't mind dirt under the fingernails. How about some pictures of your new ride?
Will try to get a couple of pics up if I can figure it out. will try and get some pics up if i can figure out how. thanks for the reply, only have a couple of wrenches so far but don't mind getting dirty, still just picking up the terminology.
GH Look on the idler yoke for a cover with 2 bolts ,remove cover and there are grease fittings to adjust tracks. Bob
idler yoke the idler yoke has threads on the shaft, with a nut where it forks off and attached to the front idler. there is a small plate on the fork where it attaches to the idler. Does' this sound like a mechanical adjuster?

Nice looking machine green horn.
She's a looker. The next panel back should have your adjuster in it.
top idler shot was looking at the under carriage today every thing looked okay but one of the top idlers it is shot froze up and the inside part is completley seperated from the rest of the pice how do i get it off. there are 4 bolts on what looks to be a cover. can i jack the track up and just unbolt itl looks like im about to get my hands dirty.
That's a good looking machine green horn. Do you have another pictures of it?
Pics Will try to get some more pics up and some of my problem soon.
