Excavator Undercarriage Maintenance: The Daily Walkaround

[@RomeKG471]

Good advise! I see allot of "operators" travel forward with the sprockets in front for long distances, this increases wear on the sprockets and track bushings.

Well explained... but you missed the idler wheel inspection for cracks and abnormal wear.

Yall need to invent a Cat Transformer that has 2 legs with tracks and a counter balance, and has 2 arms so the operator can use both arms at one time. It needs to have sleeves so the operator can insert their arms and control the outside arms. It needs to be able to allow the operator to sit or stand when working. It needs to be able to compact in a bending over position to be able to be transported and it needs to be able to have slots to store different attachments the operator may use. You are welcome for the idea and you will make a fortune on it.
