Still looks easier than changing track on a tank.

[@RomeKG471]

Best to connect the track at the front of the idler.

I think Frank is gonna need a few cold beverages to make him smile after doing that job! Great video Josh!! Wooooooo

[@eddieforce3550]

I would say Frank has done this before. I helped replace one on a D-7 Cat in 1963 at the age of 16. I learned to drive that old cable lift Cat and and cleared a lot of ground in the summer of 63.

Wether the track assembly is ( Berko, ITP or CAT) the bolts have a required torque. Bolts are installed lubricated with antiseeze compound not locktite and are tightened using a cross pattern sequence. The paint on the underside of pad must be removed as well as the mating surface on top of rail so it will not work loose . It takes a lot of fight out of it to reconnection of master link to put it over front idler so idler will hold it straight for you.

You can tell working around Mr Frank he dont say much but you can learn alot from him! Great video Josh!

[@leroywaller7604]

JOSh, that is an adventure.

[@lighthouseschafer8394]

Thanks Frank for showing your track install. Amazing !!!!

[@sexysammij1]

I don't know about anyone else watching...... but just can't but WOOOOOOOOO along with you Josh.....

[@FireandDirt]

Thanks for also not being afraid to throw out costs so we can understand the seriousness of the situation.

[@131dyana]

I had no idea how to put a new track on. what a neat way to go . thank you.

[@tomr2007]

I always connected the track near the bottom of the front idler using a pin that gets driven into the bushing. Pulling the two halves together with straps seems like extra work. Let gravity do the work and save your back.

This vid is Better than the news of these days

[@Will7981]

Frank seems like a man of few words and ain't nothing wrong with that.👍🏻

[@richardperry9095]

I've done that so many times I could have done it in my sleep...34 years as a heavy equipment mechanic. Easier with a track dozer/loader than an excavator.

[@scottt8424]

Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoy it and putting that track on probably took you guys oh I would say three hours and so much great information that you taught everyone on TH-cam now thanks again
