Rear spring tensioner brackets missing


Reamer

Recommended Posts

Reading the manual on how to remove tracks, all the phots and directions show a "front" and "rear" spring tensioner brackets. I only have "Front" ones - no rears. was this a common "modification, or are the rears just as important as the fronts?

Different that on-line manual...

@Reamer Patrick @Patrick Tipton is your learned manuals scholar who I am sure can clarify if this is a typo. Bracket A in the attachment in my previous reply goes adjacent to the rear of the spring on the drivers side and correspondingly the bracket marked C goes on the passenger side. Your previous photos show the two hull mounting holes on each side where these brackets should attach. Bracket C as photographed in your on line manual acts as a stop if the idler arm spring should compress to such an extremity. Normally a gap of about 8mm (5/16th"Inch) is required between the top of the spring and the bracket. Hope this make sense.
