Hi all. We've had an SK600 for about a year and a half, mostly do trail work with it (pushing dirt, logs and rocks around). Threw a track twice yesterday and what a bear it was getting it back on.
I believe the SK600 is the same mechanical setup as SK650 with the bolt you let out to loosen the tension - this is not the grease pressure tensioner setup.
Took three of us with crow bar, rock bars, 3 lb hammer (and socket set) but got it back on. Must be easier way that what we did (ended up taking off the drive sprocket both times).
Dug around online, seems having at least two crowbars and maybe some pipe pieces (to get space around that front roller as you run the track slowly) can do it. Wanted to ask here and see how other folks do it.
