  • Replacing the track rail on the D5K dozer. Emergency repair in the field. The guys did an awesome job. If in the Houston area, give Star W Equip a call for all your Heavy Equipment repairs.

    Every time you install new rails make sure paint is buffed off where pads bolt up because they will come loose

      These came with Grease over the mating point, and tape over that. It sucks when you learn that lesson in life on your own. Thanks

    That was interesting. I didn’t know that the plates were separate. Thanks for sharing this.

    Procedure is totally different than (1960's) when we had equipment specifically made for this work and could do both sides with 2 men in about 4/5 hours. Worked for Texas Welding and Press then and was much different than today.

    The only reason track pads come loose from the chain (rail) is because of improper torque procedure or inadequate torque measurement. The way these guys did it will work just fine.

    All the old timers say to remove the the paint on the rails before installing the pads so the pads don't work loose. You may wanna retorque the pad bolts in a month or so to be safe. N maybe use a torque wrench instead of a breaker bar?

      Thank you for the advice. I will definitely check that.

      @@thomasconstructiontexas I know this comment is super old, but you’ll have a hard time finding a torque wrench that’ll get it to spec. Depending on your tracks/bolts, you could be looking at upwards of 2500 ft lbs which you most definitely did not hit with that breaker bar.
      I’d recommend just shipping them off to a shop/dealer that has a track press OR get a hytorc digital jgun as those will torque properly as well.

    I consider this fastening to be unreliable: they did not use a thread sealant, and did not remove the paint at the place where the track adjoins the hitch.
    The guys have done a lot of work, but it's all short-lived.

    They need to change the sprocket also.

      @thomasconstructiontexas  2 роки тому +1

      When we ordered the parts the sprockets came in two weeks before the rails. Needing the dozer we went ahead and put them on. I didn't get a video of that. Thanks for watching.
