Maybe an Operation & Maintenance manual might help you..?
It contains all the info for regular maintenance jobs like tensioning the tracks, plus much more.
With a Serial Number you could download one from Cat for less than $30. (There are various manual options and to get the correct one would require the machine S/No)
Very good point, I need to point that out more often!
I never understand how someone could invest in a machine, even an old machine, they may only use for a hobby doing more or less "yard work" around the house and not have at the very minimum an operators manual. Just knowing the correct way to do something as simple as knowing how to check oil levels is worth the cost of a manual.
Not trying to attack ncmoore77 on this point as he appears to have just found this forum and not be aware as to what is available for a very reasonable price, at least from Cat.
ncmoore, reply here with a S/N and I'm sure Nige will walk you through the simple steps to either order a paper copy or download a electronic copy so you can have it in a matter of a couple minutes!
