I have a1980 cat 943 that I've been using for about a year and
appears to be a good sound machine. I've tightened the track
a couple of times since I got the machine by following the
manual directions. However, now the track on the right side
won't take grease with a manual grease gun, but the track still
appears slightly too loose. The maintenance manual mentions
loosening a relief valve then tightening by adding grease again
to tighten track, but it doesn't label the relief valve. Is it the
actual grease fitting that should be loosened then retightened
or the 4 bolts at the corners of the plate around the zerk
fitting? I think the assembly isn't sliding on the shaft properly
and therefore too much tension is needed for the zerk to take
grease. The machine is operating well, I just want to keep it
properly maintained. Thanks for any advice.
