Would like info on lubrication of track components and how to tell if they need additional maintenance. Has 1150 hours, recently purchased and changed all fluids and filters. Want to properly maintain tracks but Maintenance manual of little help as mine doesn't look like manual pictures.
Thanks!

G..G..G..Granville.........!! Fetch your cloth.
Are you using a Cat manual.? if so what is the reference number.?
By "track components" I assume you mean track rollers, idlers, and track chains for machines equipped with steel tracks.?
All the above are filled with oil and sealed during manufacture and require no lubrication.
They do however require periodic inspection to determine whether or not anything is leaking which could indicate the need for repairs.
Post a Serial Number if you want more detailed information.
By the sounds of your question you might be in need of a service manual which contains more detailed information regarding specifications, adjustments, and repair.
