I just took delivery of a replacement final drive for my Bobcat 100, aka Komatsu PC30-5. Would someone be able to offer suggestions or tips on replacing the track. I'm doing this single hand, and I've dragged that track around a bit to know it's heavy and awkward to manage. It looks as though the idler has been pushed back by the former owner when he diassembled everything. Should the track go on the sprocket first? If I'm able to wrestle this thing back on, what's the procedure for creating the right tension? I read other forums that indicate the adjustments are made by the grease fitting on the idler. Sorry to sound so uninformed. This is my first machine of this type, and without any manuals (yet) I'm stumbling around asking questions and looking for help. Thanks.
