Reference: Refer to Specifications, SENR8324, "Tracks" in the Service Manual for your machine.
Note: Inspect all the components of the track for wear or damage. Replace the worn components
and the damaged components. The components must be clean and dry before assembly.
Illustration 1 g00619713
Note: Maintain some clearance between the link and tool (G) at location (Y).
1. Apply SAE 90W gear oil to each end of bushing (12) for a minimum length of 6.5 mm
(0.25 inch).
NOTICE
Use a maximum force of 660 kN (148500 lb) when the track is
assembled.
2. Use tool (G) to install bushing (12) in the link.
3. Install the bushing in the link until the bushing makes contact with the 6V-4108 Offset
Adapter in tool (G). The track bushing must extend 1.76 ± 0.13 mm (0.069 ± 0.005 inch)
above the surface of the link.

4. Position link (5), bushing (12), and link (6) in tool (G).
5. Install tool (C) in order to align links (6) and (5).
6. Install bushing (12) in link (5) until the bushing makes contact with the 6V-4108 Offset
Adapter in tool (G). The track bushing must extend 1.76 ± 0.13 mm (0.069 ± 0.005 inch)
above the surface of the link.
Illustration 3 g00619717
NOTICE
The seal must be completely sealed in the link counterbore. The load
ring of the seal must make a minimum amount of contact with oil. Oil
expands the load ring. This expansion is not desired until after
assembly.
7. Use tool (F) to install seals in links (6) and (5).

9. Apply clean oil to stoppers (13) and install the stoppers in the track pins. The stopper must
be installed to a depth of 8 ± 4 mm (0.32 ± 0.16 inch) below the surface of the track pin.
Illustration 6 g00619748
10. Position tool (D) between the track links. Use tool (D) to force apart the links enough to
install link assembly (10).
11. Attach a hoist to link assembly (10). Position the link assembly and install tool (C) in order
to hold the link assembly in place.
Illustration 7 g00619749
12. Position tool (D) between links (5) and (6). Use tool (D) to force apart the links enough to
install link assembly (7).
13. Attach a hoist to the link assembly. Position the link assembly on link assembly (7).
Note: If necessary, use tool (A) to pull the track links together until tool (C) can be
installed.
14. Install tool (C) in order to hold the link assemblies together.

15. Attach a hoist to tool (H). Position tool (H) and track pin (4) on the track links.
Note: The hole end of the pin must be installed on the same side of the track for the entire
length of the track. The oil cross hole in the pin must be within 20 degrees of the vertical
centerline of the pin bore. The oil cross hole in the pin must be closest to the rail of the link.
The track pins are marked on the end for the location of the oil cross hole. The pin must be
installed with a minimum amount of force in order to obtain a maximum of 0.20 mm
(0.008 inch) of end play between the bushing and the thrust ring.
16. Use tool (H) to install track pin (4). Install track pin (4) until the track pin extends
2.9 ± 0.8 mm (0.11 ± 0.03 inch) beyond the link assembly.
17. Repeat Steps 15 and 16 in order to install the remaining track pin.

Note: If the joint fails the vacuum test or the pressure test, the joint must be disassembled
and repaired.
18. Use tool (J) to evacuate the joint. Release the button that controls the evacuation of the joint
when the maximum vacuum is reached. Observe the gauge reading for ten to fifteen
seconds. No reduction in vacuum should be observed.
19. Press the button that controls the oil in order to fill the joint with SAE 90W gear oil. Fill the
joint until the needle on the gauge stabilizes. Release the button that controls the oil and
observe the gauge reading. No pressure drop should be observed. If a pressure drop occurs,

press the button that controls the oil for ten to fifteen seconds. Fill times will vary for seal
cavities. Oil must seep by the small grooves in the thrust rings. Repeat the procedure in
order to fill the joint with oil until no pressure drop is observed.
20. Press the button that controls the evacuation of the joint and hold the button for five seconds
before removing tool (J).
21. Apply clean oil to the plug.
22. Use tool (K) to install the plug in the stopper in the end of the track pin. Install the plug in
the stopper until the plug is flush with the end of the stopper.
Note: The track shoe weighs 28 kg (62 lb).
23. Use two persons to position the four track shoes on the track.
24. Apply clean SAE 30W oil to the washer face and the threads of the track shoe bolts.
25. Install the track shoe bolts.
26. Tighten the track shoe bolts to a torque of 650 ± 70 N·m (480 ± 50 lb ft). Tighten the bolts
by another 1/3 turn.
End By:
a. Adjust the track. See the procedure in Disassembly and Assembly, "Track - Connect" in this
module.
