Keeping tabs on tension and undercarriage maintenance for your Case IH track loaders is essential.
After a long day of pushing dirt that telltale clunk might ring in your ears and you could spot some uneven track sag.
Let’s share quick checks field tricks and clever maintenance tips to ensure your Case IH undercarriage remains tight smooth and in great shape.
 
After a tough day working with clay I heard that familiar clunk and knew something wasn’t right.
Turns out the track tension was way too loose.
A quick adjustment and a bit of grease later, everything was running smoothly again.
 
Noticed a strange noise while loading trucks all afternoon, and my instincts told me to stop and investigate.
Discovered dry rollers and loose tension. After cleaning and adjusting, I was back at it.
Just five minutes of checking saved me five days of waiting for parts and explaining the downtime.
 
My machine started to sag unevenly after a long week on the job, and I kept hoping it would fix itself. Spoiler alert it didn’t. I finally checked the undercarriage, tightened everything up, and now it tracks straight without sounding like it’s about to fall apart.
