    CASE 440CT Track Tensioner Valve & Grease Zerk

    OK, so I finally got someone to provide me with a different and better diagram, that actually lists out the order. It turns out, the O-ring goes on the very inside. Then the spacer ring, and finally the scrapper ring. I had the O and spacer rings switched around. I've got a micrometer caliper...

    CASE 440CT Track Tensioner Valve & Grease Zerk

    So, this post is old now, and I never returned after I got my issue fixed. A new grease zerk along with a new rod and seal kit fixed my issue. Now, I'm blowing grease out the seal on the other side. I've replaced the rod and seal kit, but am still leaking grease out the seal. I've got a really...

    CASE 440CT Track Tensioner Valve & Grease Zerk

    I forgot to mention that this is my personal machine, that I don't make money with, so I'm usually the mechanic on it and try to fix everything as economically as possible. I've ordered a new rod and seal kit, and will rebuild my leaky tensioner as soon as I receive them. I'll post my results...

    CASE 440CT Track Tensioner Valve & Grease Zerk

    GaryHoff, I'll have some time this weekend to further extract and examine the entire track tensioner unit. I can buy a replacement rod and service kit, or service kit alone, for quite a bit cheaper than I can an entire track tensioner. What's your reasoning behind recommending a replacement over...

    CASE 440CT Track Tensioner Valve & Grease Zerk

    Well crud. Like I said, the valve is brand new, so I'd like to think that it isn't bad right out of the factory, but maybe. I am not using an air greaser, just a manual hand pump, hydraulic piston driven grease gun. So, the grease input flow shouldn't be too high for the tensioner fitting to...

    CASE 440CT Track Tensioner Valve & Grease Zerk

    It is leaking straight grease around and through the zerk. Nothing in that area is heating up. Actually, just the opposite. I store my machine in my garage (around 45-50 degrees), and have been running it in temps between -14 and +20 degrees. I would think the same, that with a new valve and...

    CASE 440CT Track Tensioner Valve & Grease Zerk

    I won't disagree with the leaking seals, but would that cause grease to leak by and through the valve grease zerk it's self? I'd think damaged seals would leak grease up under the track, where I can't see it. I can visibly see where grease is leaking out around the outside of the zerk, and...

    CASE 440CT Track Tensioner Valve & Grease Zerk

    The valve and zerk are both brand new. The zerk takes grease just fine from my grease gun. It leaks grease when I drive my machine, and even slowly when it's parked. My tensioner isn't seized and I don't believe it's bent or damaged. I pump it up until the track is at the proper tension, and...

    CASE 440CT Track Tensioner Valve & Grease Zerk

    Grease was leaking past and through my grease zerk at the end of my track tensioner valve. I replaced it several times, but that didn't fix it. Then I replaced my entire track tensioner valve, which came with a new grease zerk installed too. The new valve leaks grease past and through the grease...
