Installing a rubber track on a compact track loader, also known as a CTL, doesn't have to be a difficult job. You should be able to take off the old track and put a new one on in less than an hour.
You will need certain tools to help you get the job done. Specifically a ratchet, sockets, a pry par, a couple heavy duty pins or pipes, a grease gun, and a friend to help you!
First, safely jack up the machine and secure it with proper jack stands. Then you bleed the old grease out of the bleeder valve. You want to relieve the pressure on the idler wheel. Once you have done that and the track is lose, you take the pry bar and work the old rubber track off. You can use the pipes and the machine's power to help you with the process.
Once the old track is off, place the new one next to the machine. This is where a friend comes in. Have him or her help you get the track up on the machine, starting with the rear sprocket. You will want to work from the back to the front.
You have to get the teeth on the rubber track past the frame. To help you do that, use the pipes and the machine's power again. Once the track is on, you pump it up with grease again. Check your manual on what type of grease gun you can use. A battery operated grease gun will reduce the amount of work the job requires.
Clean up the area of grease and then you're done.

Excellent video, adding to your presentation: Step #1, Pressure wash machine get the dirt off. Step #2 Get some Rail Road Ties from Home Depot and Cut them up to at least 24" You will need to stack 2 tall, put 4 in the back and 4 in the front. #3 A air operated jack is helpful, start with a low profile 20ton and a then switch over to a higher lifting jack. (Harbor Freight) #4 you will need some 2" schedule 40 or better pipe , (Plumbing Supply) about 16" long to help lift the track off the front idler. Space every other tooth and roll forward. #5 If you have access to a mini ex or a winch, you can use a sling and short chains to help pull the tracks off. Start with the front, drag it off at a 45 deg angle, make sure the teeth are cleaning the sprocket and the center guide area on the track on the bobcat machines. You might need a pipe here and there. You will need 3-4 of them. I welded up some C-shaped pipes spaced 3" apart so they could hang on the tread. #6 When you go to put the tread back on, start with the back and lift the tread up just in front of where the drive sprocket ends with a tree saver sling(harbor freight). Sometimes a sledge hammer on the side of the track can force it over. I used my mini ex with a longer chain the clear the bobcat boom arms because I usually work alone. Once you get it on the drive sprocket, move to the middle and lift up work your way down to the front. Use a winch or excavator to pull the very front of the tred in line with the rest, then insert the pipes ever other tooth and roll it forward so that the front drive roller connects with the pipe and lifts the tred up enough so that the teeth clear the roller. Then hammer it over with a sledge.
thanks for that!
Best video I have seen on this.
Thanks Shane! I hope it helped. You have a CTL?
Great explanation!!! You are amazing .
well thank you!
lol you forgot to mention a good jack. i drove my t190 on 2x8s and set blocks in the rear and used the bucket to lift it up.
VERY GOOD POINT
Nice how long did it take
Hey Rob. It took about an hour to do both sides
You did nice, but you did not say when bleeding the track off. Taking a grease out, be careful not to take it all the way out. It might have pressure and pop out and hit you and could kill you. Greece is very pressurized.
Nice videos Thai tracks look amazing condition still lol I ya don’t sell them I am interested
This was just an informational video to learn how to replace them, but we do sell tracks! Give us a call at the number in the description!
How big of pins are them?
Depends on your machine. Give us a call and ask for Joe!
