Track bolts

brain, I just had the pins and bushings turned on my D8 and they only replaced the bolts that were worn around the heads. If your bolt heads don't round when taking them off they should be OK to re-use. Make sure you use a 6 point socket and not a 12 point with your 3/4 gun. The 12 will round a worn head real quick 😮 .

What do you mean by 'turn the tracks round' , you only turn bushes on SALT tracks because there is no internal wear, providing the seals have done their job, you say they are already turned?.
If you put new master bolts in, get the correct ones, get the proper tightening procedure and do it correctly, you will want to kick yourself round the field if they come loose and damage the joiner links.

When the tracks were put back on after he had the pins and bushings turned the previous owner put the tracks on backwards. I have to take them off and put them on in the right direction.

Just wire brush the bolts and use lots of neverseize on them. Torque them to 220 Lb Ft and then turn them 120 deg(2 flats)more. Track bolts are special bolts.

That figures! The correct torque for master pad bolts on a D6C/D is as Bob says, clean and lubricate well, tighten to 220 lbs/ft plus 180 deg, in the current service manual, but I guess anything over 120deg should be enough on used bolts.

Catsilver, I think the 180 deg is for the rest of the shoe bolts.

which ever method you use to tighten the bolts ,when you think there tight give the Head of the bolt a good hard crack with a 5 pounder then re-tighten

some of the split link track bolts are special shouldered bolts - compare before you decide to replace

The important part of alligator master link re-connection, is to ensure that the link jaws are spotlessly clean before bolting them up.
It's important to remove any paint by burning with a torch .. then wire-brushing, to ensure that you have bare metal-to-bare metal contact.
Paint and dirt will crush in operation, making the fasteners on the coupling lose full tension, and allowing the possibility of the master link coming loose.
