Idler adjustment question.

my 941b hyd adjustors freeze up sometimes. I open the relief valve and run the machine lightly to get them to back off and then usually i can pump grease in them and adjust the track back up. I also keep a grease saturated cloth wrapping on the exposed shafts to keep them from rusting and to keep dirt away from the seal.

I like the grease cloth idea, but would like to find a set of covers for the roller frame. Until I do and maybe after I will use a cloth. I am waiting for a nozzel to come in so I can get it running again the I might try your suggestion. Thanks.

The cyl's tend to seize between the outer surface and the front spring pilot so clean them off good and lubricate before collapsing the adjusters. You may find they will collapse but still not adjust out.

What is your adjustment reading.....seems a little far out there where they tend to cock and bind.

OM, in my operator manual it says for my model that the cyclinder can not extend more than 6 1/8 ". That is different from the 12A model. Mine is a 60A3145.
Bob, what do I do if the adjusters do not extend back out? Should I leve them alone for know because the project I am working on is a little time sensative. I have about 800 tri axle loads of dirt to move before the end of Jan.
