Begin your tensioning procedure by checking

the overall length of the #234 Spring (black) and
#233 Spring (yellow).  Both Springs should be
compressed to an overall length of 4.5”.  The
length measured is only the Spring; do not include
the #235 & #236 Washers in your measurement!

If your Springs have lost this 4.5” dimension,

or you have replaced a broken #1030 Rod, follow
this procedure:

With a wrench, rotate each #1030 Rod so that

its respective #236 Washer is drawn 

forward

(or

released 

r e a r w a r d

)  thereby  adjusting  its

respective #234 Spring (black) or #233 Spring
(yellow) to a final length of 4.5”.  Work back and
forth tightening each Spring 1/4” at a time until you
have achieved a 4.5” overall length for both
Springs.    Measure  Spring  length  only;  don’t
include  #235  and  #236  Washers  in  your
measurement.

At this time remount and safely restart your

Crawler.  Drive it approximately 25 feet forward
and then go in reverse back to your starting point.
Shut off the engine and dismount.  Check the
overall length of your #233 & #234 Springs for any
changes in length.  Readjust to proper 4.5” overall
length if necessary.  When satisfied, secure each
1/2” Nut (on end of each #1030 Rod) with a 1/2”
Washer and 1/2” Nut...fully tighten.

NOTE

: To achieve ideal Track alignment, the

“Y” distance (the distance from the rear face of

the #215 Front Axle forward to the 

rear face

of the

frame block) should be reasonably equal on each
end of the #215 Axle you are adjusting.  

To accomplish this, loosen the 1/2” Nut and

1/2” Lock Washer on the end of the #1030 Rod
holding the #233 Spring (yellow) and “fine tune”
the overall length of the #233 Spring using the
procedure described above.  Don’t change the
previous 4.5” setting of the #234 Spring (black). 

When  equal  “Y”  distances  have  been

achieved,  replace  and  tighten  the  1/2”  Lock
Washer and 1/2” Nut on extreme end of #1030
Rod holding the #233 Spring (yellow).

Using original Cap Screws and Nuts, replace

the #113 Spring Guard removed above...tighten.

Lubricate system. 

TRACK SPROCKET &
TRACK IDLER LUBRICATION

Lubrication 

of 

the 

#1218 

Idlers 

is

accomplished by greasing through #2061 Zerk
Fittings.    The  Zerk  Fittings  are  “submerged
mounted” in the outside ends of all eight of the
#213 Idler Axles and the two #214 Rear Axles and
are lubricated from the sides of the Crawler (See
drawing above)

The Front Idler Sprocket assemblies have

#2061 Zerks mounted in their Tubes and are
lubricated from the front of the track through the
1/2” track shoe gap.

It is a good idea to clean out the track system

of debris each time you lubricate to spot problems
before  they  become  expensive  maintenance
items.

TRACK IDLER MAINTENANCE

NOTE

: The #1218 Track Idlers are made of a

slightly softer steel than the Track Chain.  This has
been done to allow the inevitable wear to be
concentrated on the less expensive Idlers thereby
protecting and greatly extending the life of the
much more expensive Track Chain.

The Track Idlers, after a few hours of running

time, will have their inside walls 

hard-peened

into

a configuration that will precisely mate with the
contour of the Track Chain they are guiding.  This
