NOTE

Track assembly can be installed from the front of the carrier or from the rear. There is an

advantage installing it from the rear of the carrier; when the end of the track assembly gets to

the final drive sprockets, the drive sprockets will assist in pushing the track toward the idler

wheel with some guiding by a helper over the road wheels. Moving the carrier forward over the

trackmeansthehelperwillhavetousemoreforce to move the track, as the idler wheel will not

provide any moving force like the final drive sprockets will.

1.

Position track shoe assemblies (1) in a line in back of the carrier. Align track guides of track shoe assemblies between

first pair of road wheels.
