How to Remove a Track
Assembly
Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on
a firm, level surface with the boom in the stowed
position.
1 Chock the tracks at the opposite end of the
machine to prevent the machine from rolling.
2 Center a lifting jack of ample capacity (20,000
lbs / 10,000 kg) under the drive chassis
between the tracks.
3 Lift the machine until the tracks are off the
ground and then place jack stands under the
drive chassis for support.
4 Remove the lug nut bolts holding each half
sprocket on the drive hub. Rotate the
sprockets until only one sprocket is contacting
the track. Remove the lower half sprocket from
the track assembly.
5 Rotate the remaining half sprocket 180° so
that it is free of the track.
6 Attach a lifting strap from an overhead crane
to the center-point of the track assembly,
above the sprocket.
7 Remove the fasteners holding the TRAX
mounting pin located underneath the axle.
Remove the pin supporting the TRAX
assembly.
8 Carefully remove the track assembly from the
drive hub and set aside.
Crushing hazard. The track
assembly could become
unbalanced and fall when
removed from the machine if
not properly supported by the
overhead crane.

How to Replace the Track
1 Remove the track assembly from the machine.
See How to Remove a Track Assembly.
Note: The sprocket is comprised of two halves.
Before removing the track assembly from the
machine and to ease the removal of the sprocket,
drive the machine until one complete half of the
sprocket is located above the undercarriage of the
track assembly.
2 Loosen the grease plug on the track tension
cylinder to relieve the track tension. Clean up
any grease that has spilled.
3 Remove the 2 sprocket retaining fasteners.
Remove the sprocket half from the track
assembly.
4 Carefully remove the track from the
undercarriage.
5 Use an overhead crane to lay the
undercarriage on its side with the drive
sprocket bearing assembly facing upward and
the track tension cylinder towards the ground.
