I have a 1980 125E International Track Loader purchased in Nov. 2017. I need help tightening the tracks. I have the books, and am mechanically inclined, but apparently lack the super brain for tightening the track. I understand one uses a grease gun, but I don't know if there are idler bolts that need loosening first and later tightening or if you just put grease in. I also don't know of the exact location of the grease fitting or what type of grease. Also, does the track need to have pressure released on it somewhere before adding the grease. A video and/or specific pics and language would be greatly appreciated. Dan
there's two bolts behind the front Idler. Remove them and a cap comes off. There is a grease fitting there. Shoot it full of regular grease. The track tensions should be 1-2 inches droop with straight edge across tracks, I use a 2x4

Usually just pump grease in , only loosen to take tension off , and usually under a plate centre track frame
