7. W hen the trac k is off of the tension wheel,
remo v e it from the dri v e sproc k et and road
wheels ( Figure 39 ).
8. Beginning at the dri v e sproc k et, coil the new
trac k around the sproc k et, ensuring that the
lugs on the trac k fit betw een the spacers on the
sproc k et ( Figure 39 ).
9. Push the trac k under and betw een the road
wheels ( Figure 39 ).
10. Star ting at the bottom of the tension wheel,
install the trac k around the wheel b y rotating
the trac k rearw ard while pushing the lugs into
the wheel.
11. T ur n the tensioning screw counter -cloc kwise
until the distance betw een the tension n ut and
the bac k of the fork tube ( Figure 37 ) is 2-3/4
inc hes (7 cm).
12. Align the closest notc h in the tension screw to
the loc king bolt hole and secure the screw with
the loc king bolt and n ut.
13. Lo w er the traction unit to the g round.
14. R e peat ste ps 2 through 13 to re place the other
trac k.
Replacing the Tracks (TX 425, Model
22307)
W hen the trac ks are badly w or n, re place them.
1. Lo w er the loader ar ms , stop the engine , and
remo v e the k ey .
2. Lift/suppor t the side of the unit to be w ork ed
on so that the trac k is 3 to 4 inc hes (7.6 to 10
cm) off of the g round.
3. R emo v e the loc king bolt and n ut ( Figure 38 ).
4. Using a 1/2 inc h dri v e soc k et, release the
dri v e tension b y tur ning the tensioning screw
cloc kwise ( Figure 38 and Figure 40 ).

9. Pull the 4 larg e w ashers out of the 2 wheels , 1
on eac h side of eac h wheel.
10. Clean the old g rease and dir t out of the area
betw een where the w ashers w ere installed and
the bearings inside the wheels , then fill this
area on eac h side of eac h wheel with g rease .
11. Install the larg e w ashers on the wheels o v er

12. Install the inner tension wheel and secure it
with the n ut remo v ed previously ( Figure 40 ).
13. T or que the n ut to 300 ft-lb (407 N ⋅ m).
14. Install the new trac k, ensuring that the lugs in
the trac k fit betw een the spacers in the middle
of the dri v e sproc k et ( Figure 40 ).
15. Install the outer tension wheel and secure it
