the 2 bolts through the Yoke?
Loosen them so that #2 can turn inside of the yoke easier.
The split yoke acts as a clamp.
The presence of the locknut leads me to think that the threads are gone in the original adjusting nut. It seems to be a common problem.
Does anyone have a pic of the track adjustment wrench? It has to be massive I would think. My D47U needs tracks adjusted. Thanks, OT

Hello , yes , rust is the common problem . This is the wrench you need . If necessary you can put a pipe on it .The stroke you can make is short , rotate the wrench 180 degrees after each stroke .
A good thing is to wrap around the big nut with oily cloths after you made the adjustment . Of course , clean everything very well .
