Tractor fun tonight

[jeffster]

So, we lost a tensioner on our 550 dozer so we had to pull the track (left it complete and rolled it off the side instead of breaking it...long story). Anyway, once we got the idler off and the tensioner replaced, I realized how much I love the hydraulic control on my 3520. I was able to gracefully hook on the track and move it about a half inch at a time to get it back on. It worked fantastic and would have taken all day to do it with a come-a-long and a pry bar. Maybe I'll spoil the tractor later and give it a bath. Heh.

Maybe a shot of fresh fuel as a reward too!

Ahhhh, such a pleasure to have such smoooooth control huh,...especially after the old shaky valves. Helps a lot with such a job as yours. Oh yes,...and 3520 loves a little belly-wash with a fine spray hose,...make 'er smile!

Good luck,
