I recently acquired a MF500 dozer. I think it is a 1978 model. Don't know much about it other than it only has about 2400 hours on it and does work.

My question is, how do I tighten the tracks? I notice a big cylinder on each side that appears to be keeping tension on the front sprocket but don't know how to
maybe "pump it up"?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Don't get it. "bigboys.com" has nothing to do with dozers. Thanks anyway.
