I think a good track wrench in a shop automatically puts the 1/3rd turn on the bolt. If I found out the torque, I think around 200 ft. lbs. for 9/16's fine thread track bolts, I'd put the rails on first and then put the pads on on the machine. I have a hoe on the back so I can pick the whole track frame up. On a Cat like a D7 it would be a lot harder to overtighten a pad bolt. 200 or so ft. lbs. could easily be exceeded with a good impact wrench. I realize it's not rocket science but it is very important. I don't want to have problems with loose pads or broken bolts, especially after paying a small fortune to put new tracks on. I thought about seeing if I could get a torque bar for 200 ft.lbs. to use with an impact wrench. It would make it a lot easier. Dave
