I have a MF 200 crawler with the track off. I had to replace the front wheel. I have tried to loosen the track tension by loosen the bleed plug and allowing grease to exhaust from adjustor. A little did come out but the front wheel has not move back any. How can I make the front wheel move back where I can get the track on the crawler? Thanks from any help someone can give me.

When working on a track frame with the track already off I've usually been able to collapse the idler by removing the bleeder screw then bumping the front of the idler with another machine like a fork lift, dozer blade, or loader bucket. Sometimes having someone position a sturdy block of wood against it and smacking the block with 20 pound sledge will get results. If these aren't options I'd try pulling it back with a hand winch. Before starting, clean out as much dirt, rock and crud as you can so parts have room to move. It is much easier to collapse the piston before taking the track off. Loosen or remove the bleeder screw, place something like a 2 x 4 block of wood or piece of pipe between the track links and top of the rear sprocket, put the transmission in reverse and back up very slowly until the idler is completely retracted. It's a good idea to stand away from the bleeder. Grease can blast out of there with a lot of force!

hay ed the wheel should go back far enough if your tracks are wore a little but it takes a lot of push to get the wheel back if the wheel will not go back enought you will have to pull a pin out of the track chain MASTER PIN ONLY this is not easy but first i would sure try like H to get it on with out pulling the pin lots of come a longs and BIG pry bars one nice thing it just about impossible to brake P.S watch your fingers or your new name will be stubby good luck
