Looks as if I am going to tackle this leak myself. I think I need to pull the track off to get to the hose ends. I looked in there and there appeared to be no way to get a wrench to the hose ends for tightening or removal with the track in place. Is this a correct observation?
Alas, it is a hose, good news for me! It is one of the hoses to the drive motor, comes from the pump (area) I'm sure. I lifted the cab but will likely need to free the drive motor end of the hose and wiggle it to see where it comes into the main frame, then trace it to its other end.
Does the 'book' have one removing the track and drive motor to get the hose off of that end? I may be able to access it with a crow's foot, but it looks difficult at best. I could cut the line at the fitting and get a socket on there for removal, but that won't help me install the new line.
Also, it looked like there were 2 bolts that held the slide/tension plate locked down. Is that it besides the threaded adjuster as far as loosening the tension for removing the track?
TIA
