The owner of this machine said he uses grease to adjust the track.I am pretty sure that Nitrogen is used.I can remember pumping up a track on a smaller Terex dozer.That machine had a single ram for the blade and the cooler group at the rear of the machine. I did that job about 25 years ago.Can't remember what dozer type. can anybody tell me what machine I have described?
Thanks

Sounds like a Terex 82-30 or 40 to me. These machines did use nitrogen in the track adjusters.

I am pretty sure that grease was used to adjust the tension as the nitrogen pressure tightened the tracks to the maximum and the grease was used to back off to the correct track tension.Ron G

CBR954,looked at pictures of the 82 30,that looked like it.We transported one from Bude to Exeter,a very eventfull journey as an Allegro drove into the blade during transport and then we clipped a wall in Oakhampton.It was 1981/82 and the lowloader was owned by the late Wally Ballsdon.
