    My thoughts exactly. The guy did a great job of convincing me it could be safely done, but you know how people are lol. Im not up to date on tracked equipment as this is our first excavator. We use a Prentiss 210E for loading/unloading. Ran across an excellent deal on this Case 9040 last week and ran into the track problem today. Thanks for the insight!

    My mother always said "Ask your father." My father always said "If it doesn't work, hit it with a hammer. If that doesn't work, hit it again."

    Have a talk with your local case mechanic, chances are you can remove the grease zerk then using the bucket to gently pull the front idler back the push the grease from the cylinder. Just have plenty of rags, hand cleaner and a bucket for the waste.
