Checking Clutch Adjustments On The Dozer || John Deere 450-B

The tracks adjust by adding grease at high pressure in the zerks on the longitudinal adjustment rod.

Thanks, I bought the little needle nose greaser and it doesn't work super well. I need to grab me one of those button cap ones

To tighten the tracks I will use a bottle jack and jam it in horizontal somewhere so it pushes the idler forward. Jack it tight then pump the grease in. Help quite a bit for me.

those are steering assist cylinders. you can remove some of the slack by loosening the jam nut and turn the spool. there is a cover on the side, just above the track to adjust the brake band so you can steer the machine.

The 3 bolt cover under the hydraulic tank that you show in the video is where you can adjust the brake band. It is a detented bolt and requires a 3/4 wrench.

Do you know how to take the steering clutches out with a 2 way blade? Getting ready to tear into it

[@carlburdick4978]

Your track tensioner is on the front idler

[@joeyogston4421]

Pump the cylinder behind the front wheel with grease to move it forward until track has only one inch of sag at top

That's what a local excavation guy was just telling me last week. Now I just need to find one of those button cap greasers
