The sprockets showed up first as they came by Fedex. So until the new complete tracks got here ( they took a while longer as they came freight) the bulldozer was used only for a few hours on the new sprockets to grade some sand out for a rodeo arena and shortly after the ol gal did get some new complete tracks and pads put on her.

I could watch these videos all day long. This takes me back to my childhood back in the late 70s & early 80s when my Grandpa had a land clearing business in Dothan Alabama. He had a John Deere 350, a John Deere 550, & then he had the bigboy a, John Deere D/7. When I was around 9 or 10 I was with my Grandpa & all my uncles in the summertime on some job with them...either clearing some land, Bush hogging under brush, digging a pond, or cutting fire rows I thought I was as big as my Grandpa & uncles...ESPECIALLY WHEN MY GRANDPA PUT A WRENCH IN MY HAND & TOLD ME TO LOOSEN OR TIGHTEN SOMETHING ON ONE OF THOSE DOZIERS!!! Looking back now...I'm sure my Grandpa probably told me to loosen or tighten something JUST TO GET ME OUT OF THE WAY...BUT I LOVED BEING AROUND THEM & ALL THOSE DOZIERS!!! Thanks for the videos...you took me down Memory Lane for a bit to a VERY VERY PROUD & HAPPY PLACE!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.

That is one way to do it, but I am a heavy equipment mechanic, my way is to put the track pin at the 2pm on the sprocket, remove it lay the track up and back and change the sprocket, then fold the track up and use a come-along to pull it snug and press the pin in and done. I would not expect those tracks to last much longer. Nobody likes to hear it but everything has a service life.

That would have been the better way if someone else didn't beat the pin over trying to get it out and then torch the grouser pad off. Luckily they gave up before they torched the track chain apart. Like I said to some other people the sprockets showed up first as they came by Fedex. So until the new complete tracks got here ( they took a while longer as they came freight) the bulldozer was used only for a few hours on the new sprockets to grade some sand out for a rodeo arena and shortly after it did get new complete tracks and pads put on her.

I didn't see any mention of it, but did you check the condition of the track pins for wear? It would seem that with them slipping over the sprocket, with the grit from dirt and rock that they might get worn also. Oh, and thanks for the upload.

We didn't check the track pins as the tracks were ordered at the same time the sprockets where. The sprockets showed up by ground shipping and the tracks came freight. So we put the sprockets on so they could finish up the job they were on and then we replaced the tracks when they came in.

Cool--I would not have imagined trying to do that without breaking the chain. Although I was able to "pop" back the chain that had slipped off a Case 1150B front idle by removing the grease from the tensioner, then driving in a downwhill turn to get the chain back on the idler, then re-tensioning. Neddless to say, I subsequently avoided the maneuver that cased the slip-off in the first place.

On larger dozers, it is often possible to simply unbolt segments of sprocket teeth from the central casting , (meaning no need to remove that at all) and bolt on new segments--cheaper and simpler. My Liebherr 731C (like a Cat d6 or a TD15 Dresser) has this setup

What happens if the tensions are to tight will the chain break? Please answer
@TheDIYGuyDOTnet
@TheDIYGuyDOTnet 6 жыл бұрын
If they are to tight it will cause more wear rather then if they are a little loose. If the tracks/ pins are worn it will cause the track chain to walk up on the sprocket and cause wear to the sprockets as well. A lot of times track tension is measured by placing a straight edge on the track between the front idler and the front carrier roller, if there is more than one. Different machines will have different specs, but the tension is measured between the straight edge and the lowest part of the sag in the track. It's usually somewhere around 2" for a smaller machines. As a general rule though, the tracks should be run a little loose, but not so loose that they drag on the track frame or pop and bang when turning because they are riding the sprocket teeth or jumping the roller flanges. You can look up the correct spec for your dozer and set the tension accordingly. Hope this helps you.

Sorry to hear that. You may want to pump grease into it until the adjuster to extends itself apart then you can clean and hone the barrel and replace the cup seal if it needs it and put it back together. Sometimes depending on the grease someone has put into it the grease can hardened up pretty solid/ hard, So some people have used boiling water to soak it in to make the grease more malleable. Not sure if it will work by pouring it over it a few times or maybe a towel or something like that on it and then pouring the boiling water onto it to keep it warmer longer. That way you don't have to remove it from the track loader.

There was no damage to the sprockets after being use for that time when they brought it back to put on the track chains and pads.

When the track chain is worn that bad I weld the sprocket to form teeth. If you gauge the track chain you can probably buildup a tooth that fits better than the tooth of a new sprocket. I am not saying I am right I just used to work for a construction company that thought new was a cuss word!

@@TheDIYGuyDOTnet I have done it on many sprockets, I suggest using 7018 and a bit of preheat. I have done it when a new track chain was going on and I can't say I agree with that practice. I do agree with doing this for a worn track chain because you can size and contour the tooth to match your need. Better filler metal like 8018-C3, 309 stainless or high manganese build up can be used but I don't think the added cost is worth the benefit. Short circuit MIG is good if you are inside but I still recommend putting the first layer down with 7018 because 7018 will offer a good buffer that will tie into the base metal and the MIG will tie into the 7018. It is easier to control size and shape of MIG welds. To minimize or delete grinding is the ticket. This job as just welding is laborious and time consuming enough. Thanks for allowing people to express themselves with their own ideas ans solutions!

I used to weld sprockets up for a dragline I operated. We didn’t bother milling them out, I just turned the teeth into triangles with buildup rods and put the walking chains back on. Sand did the rest and we never had any problems with the chains on that machine. Northwest 190 HD Series II

Arthur Bradley The factory probably won't do that, they're in the business of selling you new sprocket segments, not welding your old ones up.

Ya it wasn't bad. But I'm sure someone added some to try and keep the track chain tight so it wouldn't slip on the sprocket.

The guy they bought it off tried to remove the bolts for the pad but they were rusted in the track chains so he torched them off and then separated the track and then must have seen the price for the new track chains and pads or that he was in over his head and put it back together.

Like I said in another comment. We put the new sprockets on just to keep the machine moving so they could finish the job they were on before the weather turned and the track chains were replaced when they came in maybe a week or so later. The sprockets could go fedex or ups so they got here pretty quick but the track chains had to go by freight.

I don't know why you didn't fix the pads on the track,it couldn't be good for it to operate the machine with them missing.
@TheDIYGuyDOTnet
@TheDIYGuyDOTnet 5 жыл бұрын
There was only one pad missing as someone torched the bolts out of it as they messed the heads of them up. The sprockets showed up first as they came by Fedex. So until the new complete tracks got here ( they took a while longer as they came freight) the bulldozer was used only for a few hours on the new sprockets to grade some sand out for a rodeo arena and shortly after the ol gal did get some new complete tracks and pads put on her.
