Ouch on that blade!! try releasing the adjusters and pull them back a bit and then pump them up--they may tighten the track then.

In my defense, I've just been piling brush and leveling old rotten stumps. The mistake here was this was an ancient pitch stump that I should have avoided. But yes, it's not made for that as I have learned, lol

It looks like soaking mine with penetrating oil made the difference as I was finally able to get mine to start moving. I hosed both sides down with PB Blaster a couple weeks ago. I was getting ready to switch to a 50/50 mix of ATF/Acetone as that has by far been the best solution I have ever used but before applying that I tried to pump some more grease in and low and behold both sides un-seized and started to move.

Now I just need to get the blade glued back on........ lol

Great news!!!

After I got mine to move and ran the machine awhile I found they weren't holding very long so I had a retired Caterpillar mechanic rebuild them for me. Unfortunately when I filled them back up I thought I had blown one of them not paying attention using our electric grease gun so I took one side back apart to check. I went ahead and filmed some of the disassembly the second time around so maybe that will help others who need to do rebuild theirs;

Thanks,
