between the tension nut and the back of the tension
tube (Figure 43) is 2-3/4 inches (7 cm).
5. Align the closest notch in the tension screw to the

Replacing the Tracks (Model 22323)
When the tracks are badly worn, replace them.
1. Lower the loader arms, stop the engine, and remove
the key.
2. Lift/support the side of the unit to be worked on
so that the track is 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm) off
of the ground.
3. Remove the locking bolt and nut (Figure 44).
4. Using a 1/2 inch drive socket, release the drive
tension by turning the tensioning screw clockwise
(Figure 44 and Figure 45).

to move the fork tube against the frame (Figure 45).
(If it does not touch the frame, continue turning the
tensioning screw until it does.)
6. Begin removing the track at the top of the tension
wheel, peeling it off of the wheel while rotating the
track forwards.
7. When the track is off of the tension wheel, remove it
from the drive sprocket and road wheels (Figure 45).
8. Beginning at the drive sprocket, coil the new track
around the sprocket, ensuring that the lugs on
the track fit between the spacers on the sprocket
(Figure 45).
9. Push the track under and between the road wheels
(Figure 45).
10. Starting at the bottom of the tension wheel, install
the track around the wheel by rotating the track
rearward while pushing the lugs into the wheel.
11. Turn the tensioning screw counter-clockwise until
the distance between the tension nut and the back of
the fork tube (Figure 43) is 2-3/4 inches (7 cm).
12. Align the closest notch in the tension screw to the
locking bolt hole and secure the screw with the
locking bolt and nut.
