I have never had a track come off, so I need a few ideas before I proceed to put it back on. The dozer is a Cat D7 - 17A w/cable, pony, wet clutch. I knew the tightener should have been pushed out more. This was the time everything was just right to come off. Fortunately I am basically in the open with no obstructions and only on a slight grade. Anyway, the track is on the back drive sprocket and off of the front idler. This is the left side track. The track is laying between the front idler and the frame. The pads are still supported by the front idler and upper rollers - just that nothing is lined up. I think the tightener is already pretty much back. I know I could jack it up and pull the track outward to put it back on. The ground is fairly soft where I am at and I don't have a 15 - 20 ton jack, but I could get around both of those problems. Can I drive it back on?? If so how is that done?? I could hook the front of the track to a chain/tractor and pull forward and outward while driving the dozer forward to the right. Or what about going backwards with the front swinging to the right?? I do have a tractor and loader if that would help. Any ideas will be appreciated. Yes, I will extend the tightener to prevent this from happening again. I hope the tightener works. Thank you.

I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
