I'm looking for the size wrench the adjusting nut on the idler spring takes.
Looks close to 2 1/4" - just looking for verification - I'm not fond of the pipe wrench approach- thanks

Look for a Proto 2-1/4" combination wrench on ebay or similar type.The Proto wrench is much more longer and the head is slim. 👍 The original Armstrong open end wrench's head is too big and is short as I found out one time when I threw a track in the woods just before I was to cross a small creek. It doesn't leave much room to turn maybe a 1/16th turn at a time and that's from turning it over on every turn. It took me about 2 hours to back the adjuster off to reinstall the track. Now this was on a D2 with a tool bar and I also had to remove one pin and swing the hyd. cyl. out of the way. :frusty:

I can relate. I was working on a sidehill and lost a track on the low inside. I was able high side track to dug down more level and jack up the low side. Used a chain and rear sprocket to pull the idler back along with a comealong. At any rate I got everything backed off, pulled the plugs and drove the pin out last night. Now just need to get it all back together.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
