      Bob, thanks for the info.

      Yes, it has ROPS and we have an outside “gantry” to pull the saddle bags, then work in the garage(it's getting cold already in northern Maine).  It has 1003 hrs. and most were put on by the previous owner in a wood cutting operation.  It was probably rode hard and put away wet more than once.

        Bob,

        My brother adjusted them twice over four years time.  The dozer sat for a year or so and I adjusted them according to the manual from nortrac.  The adjusters are now all the way in and the left works pretty well, but the right is a bust.  To turn right we reverse with left brake on which ends up going right when you go forward again.  So, the bands can't be replaced thru the top plate without pulling the tracks?

          There isn't any oil on the brake, just worn out I believe.  No problem on the abilities, just on the inclination! Would do it in the garage with a hd chainfall and lots of blocking.  Have 3/4″ drive sockets, etc.  Pictures would be a nice help.
