D6B cant keep track tight

It,s leaking out the seal and going someplace so you,ll have to take it out and reseal the piston to correct it.

Dam, I was afraid of that.

Where is the seal and what involved in replacing it?
Remove the idler?
I lent my service manual to a freind and he moved away. WITH IT!
Any chance of a shot of that process from the service manual kicking around?

Thanks again for your quick reply.....😄

The greasse should go in coilspring if you do't see her near the greasse fitting

Here is the service manual information.

You can get the seal kits here.

Pay close attention to the bore of the cyl. I have seen them pounded out part way down the bore and hold grease some places but leak back if adjusted farther out.

Gee, Thanks guys!😄

I have been hanging around this board for years but have not used my D6 much in the last few years but I just picked up a factory root rake last fall so I can start on 40 achres of alders and birch.

Let the fun begin.😉

Thanks again guys, this board is like the holy grail of cat heaven.😎

Can you post the service manual pages again for the seal replacement.
And also 😮 how to split the track. Never done it before.

Thanks a lot, I will try to fix it with out any injury to my old girl or myself...😮

And I know we all like pictures here so here is a link to some of the work the old girl has done over the years.

Did you check your idler if he is on the end of track frame before changing the seal.

Gemdozer has a good point......where are you with track adjustment???

Do you have sealed or non-sealed tracks?
