Q

What’s the split master link?

A

Provides and easy method for uncoupling the track chain. Uses a tooth joint and long bolts to connect the half links together

Q

What is the master pin?

A

Tracks that do not use master links will use the master pin. Can be identified by the slight recess on end of pin and is slightly smaller in diameter

Q

What is a lubricated track?

A

Sometimes called a sealed and lubricated track (SALT). Pin and bushing is sealed and rides on a small amount of oil. Quieter operation and lasts longer when maintained properly

Q

Flush type track link configuration ?

A

Used with the master pin. Makes uncoupling the track a lot easier compared to interlocking. Downside is it has a increased chance of contamination

Q

Interlocking type track link?

A

Design still allows pivoting action to occur but reduces the amount of contamination having the bushing and pin press fit into the links

16
Q

Low sprocket design?

A

Traditional low mounted final drive. Lowers the centre of gravity. Increased stability.

17
Q

High sprocket design?

A

Reduces the effect of shock loads. Downside is they have increased internal pin and bushing wear because of a third track chain pivot

18
Q

Track and carrier roller configuration?

A

Pedestal carrier rollers

Track rollers

Vogue style track rollers

19
Q

What are pedestal carrier rollers?

A

Support the weight of the track.

20
Q

Track rollers?

A

Supports the weight of the machine on the track. Transmits shock loads from the track to the frame

21
Q

Bogie style track rollers?

A

Group of independent pivoting track rollers are used in place of a single track roller. Provides track contact over uneven ground

22
Q

What is the roller shell?

A

Larger outer structural member of any roller assembly

23
Q

2 types of roller shells ?

A

Single flange

Double flange

24
Q

Things to fix during track maintenance?

A

Track tension

Loose, damaged or missing components

Evidence of misalignment

Roller/idler leakage

25
Q

1 spot to see misalignment on an undercarriage?

A

Sprocket

26
Q

Evidence of misalignment?

A

Unusual roller flange wear from side hilling

27
Q

What must you be careful to watch when measuring track link wear?

A

To not measure with master pin in measurement

28
Q

How to measure drive sprocket tooth wear?

A

Measure three teeth apart on the sprocket. As the distance decreases the sprocket becomes more worn

29
Q

Low final drive front idlers must be what when installed?

A

Shimmed for alignment

30
Q

Can worn pins and bushing be turned to increase their service life?

A

Yes, once
