I have had to put tracks back on my mini many times but this was a different story. It seems that the tensioner on this is designed to still apply spring pressure even when the grease cylinder pressure is released. On my Bobcat, the grease cylinder and spring are in "series" instead of "parallel" like this seems to be. I could not get the idler to stay retracted because of it, which obviously made getting the track back on much more difficult. I finally was able to with a combination of chains pulling on the track in just the right places.
Any tricks to getting a track back on with this type of system, or is it just the nature of the beast?
