Greetings gentlemen (and ladies?),
Very first post here, I hope that it has not been answered ad nauseum (and I and I am just too inept to utilize the search function to figure it out myself :tong )
In any case. It is an 80's vintage hydrostatic drive machine (spins like tank in one little spot, really great for land clearing, but I keep reaching for the steering/clutch handles like a big dummy).
I used the machine several times over the winter to clear dead trees a make piles to burn, when/if we get sufficient rain, and the county allows us private citizen types to burn once again.
As I was walking past the machine last weekend, I noticed that several of the pins in the track chain were oozing a light oil. Now, understand that this is lust a light track of oil being pulled down via gravity.
1st - I thought that the pins were filled with grease when assembled and were sealed.
2nd - there is a teeny-tiny hole on one side of the pin.
Is there oil in the pins? Should I be putting oil or grease in them? I have been on everything from a pony motor era D9 to a Komatsu 21 and have never done anything other than adjust the tension and maybe replace a broken pad.....Well I did remove a set of tracks once but that is more of a 'hold my beer and watch this type of story)
The machine came with a technical manual, but I don't read latin or greek very well and it is like 1400+ pages. Does anyone have a direction to point me in?
And - while I love this machine, I kind of bought by accident. I was looking for an older 450 that I could tote around behind my 3/4 ton truck on a triple 7k axle trailer (farm tags - Texas - mostly legal and safe - did it for years, never should have let that rig go away). The 750 is just too big for me to move without a contract hauler. I will keep it until the job at the home-place is done and then move to the ranch (or trade for the model that I really wanted once the heavy lifting here is done).
Thanks for the advice in advance gents.
