Case 850D track

[CANNONMAN1]

I have an Case 850D Dozer. It’s been a great little rig but the tracks are stretched out to max. Sprockets are worn but pins and pads are in great shape. Can a link or two & same with pads be removed to compress cylinder to get me back some adjustment? Thinking about replacing sprockets but I’ve been told then the pins will climb over a new sprocket. Is this correct? This rig is just for my own use and only sees about 2-300 hours use per year.

You can do that but you will wear your new sprocket out sooner. But it will get you by for awhile.

Will the track climb on a new sprocket if old pins & chain are left on?

Yes it could
