247 CAT Skid Steer track installation

[@LuisSeguraSanchez-xb7ve]

Worked!!!, tried everything used this method, patience and brute force and soap and water did the trick

[@BarrySmith-j7x]

Thanks for the video it sure did make my life easier putting my track back on

[@tomzeller1664]

Thanks so much! You made it look easy. No special tools. Just common sense & a bit of grunting. 👍👍

[@MrJason7680h]

I've put on a bunch of those tracks, they make a special hinged tool to put those on. You have to take front idler off.

Yooo the dawn saved the day!!!

[@dadandson6882]

Thank you. That will be a big help. Me and my son also putting ours on .

[@trevorcohee2544]

How did you do this it's been a nightmare for me as well

[@bluethunder1951]

There’s and easier way, remove the outer front wheel from the hub, put the track on then force the wheel between the hub and the track, it helps to pull the track out as far as it will go to get the wheel in there, then start the machine up and go in reverse very slowly the wheel will spin inside the track and go right onto the hub, then rotate the wheel to line up the bolt hole, retighten the track and your done.

Thanks for shit camera angle and no description of what you’re doing. Can’t tell if you got it two inch’s off the ground or two feet. Which would help to know.

[@davidduvall6287]

I never saw anyone make a quick simple task look so hard and complicated....in a shop with two people it's literally a 30 second job after the machine is jacked up

[@thelarochellefarm595]

Have you had to replace the sprocket rollers yet?

[@davidasmondy4891]

If you plan to do sprocket rollers you can do it track on just pull the outer bearing assembly off and remove complete sprocket assembly. They suck to do but not horrible. Plan on buying a outer bearing as well as they see a lot of wear. I just did mine last night. 247B

@@davidasmondy4891 that’s not what I wanted to hear. Lol. I still can’t believe I have to do that just because the bolts come in from the inside on a PT-50 Thanks for the reply! 👍

Would have been nice if you could have seen what he was doing.

[@andrewzeller6797]

Me and a buddy tried this but we didn't have any luck. It was as if the track was 2" too short

[@terrywilhelm6257]

Doesn't look very safe, they make tools that help, quick and easy.

[@likeabossss463]

It’s very safe. Gotta have a rare skill called common sense

[@theyoopertuber2599]

Actually they have tool from cat and complete trash.....

[@alexandromorales7276]

All I saw was dudes back

[@tammybaerg5824]

camera needs to be tilted down.

[@theyoopertuber2599]

Can you message me? Or add me on FB? I have a question about this. I have a 257b with same track system and its a nightmare.
