AJ--thats how i did my 941b cylinders as there were 4 bolts holding the gland on
but the d3b has a screw on crown thats at 550 '# torque and I don't even have a pipe wrench with big enough jaws to get it off.

well, I the machine has been working great and no worries about popping the track off since adjusting them a little while back.. but then I noticed that after turning the machine it had walked off of the bottom rollers only. I fired it up and turned in the opposite direction and moved forward and back and the track went back on, but then the other side did the same thing. played a bit more and got it on and they are both on at the moment..
does anyone have any thoughts on why that would occur?? it never did it (that i ever noticed) when the tracks were loose.
thanks

Condition known as "snaky track" due to worn parts allowing to much lateral play. Can also be aggravated by worn rollers & flanges. Walking off the rollers has probably been occurring all along.
