Putting Excavator Track Back On: Correct Way vs Hack

The correct way to put track back on calls for releasing tension grease, then remove the track and reattach it. If the track falls inside the sprocket, it may be difficult to remove the track.
Highlights:
00:46 Struggle to detach the track when it falls inside the sprocket
04:42 Use trick to put track back
05:55 Easier when track falls outside the sprocket

You are as much of an expert as anybody else since you figured it out. Good job
Do you know where I can get attachments for a machpro?

Thank you for your comment! I don't know where to get attachments. Depends on the type of attachments, I can think of going to the auction site and check again. I saw some attachments laying around at the auction last time, not sure if they can fit MP30. A remote possibility is to email them. Problem is even if they can sell to you, the logistics can be a challenge. Good luck!

Possibly wrapping a large ratchet strap or comealong around the the track and tighten it to retract that track tensioner some more.

It's a lot easier to install the sprocket side first and slip it on the idler side

Put the blade allways down lift the machine opposite of the blade started out bar to lift the track and move the track backwards so much easier
