About to repair tensioner on a smaller 3T model. Looks like a very similar mechanism. Your video has probably saved me many hours of unnecessary disassembly. I hadn't thought of removing the idler. Would have figured it out eventually lol. Thanks for the time you took to make this video. Very appreciated.
I took that grease fitting out when I put the porta power between the blade and track when I ran the track off. It made pushing the tensioner back much easier. On the old D6 cat. Doc
Would be good to see if it held but great vid ..but how did it work good or? Just curiouse cause when ya put white seal on it looked like a chunk stayed behind but anyways hope went well godbless.
It actually did hold I got it back together and I've been running it....thank you for watching I seen you made some other comments I will definitely read and reply!!

That's the bad part about a dozer you have no boom and stick to help you put a track back on I've never actually ran a track off a dozer before
@@dirtgrainsteel this thing was wore plumb out. Running on steep side hills and down trees, I really had to watch it didn't get off all the wsy.
