How to change rubber tracks (not steel tracks) on a mini excavator.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to take a factory track off a mini excavator and replace it with an aftermarket track. For the demonstration, we're using a John Deere 35G, but you can apply this method to just about any mini excavator.

Tools needed:
A simple chisel bar or just a long pry bar (find this at any tool outfit store or hardware store)
A 19millimetre openend wrench so you can pull the grease valve out and reinstall it
A grease gun (manual grease gun, pneumatic grease gun, or electric grease gun)

To change the track, you'll need to lift the mini excavator in the air, which can be done with or without a blade. Make sure you're on flat ground when you do this!

Lifting a mini excavator WITH a blade:
1. Push the blade down into the ground on the backend
2. Push the boom and bucket down into the ground on the frontend
3. As you push the boom and bucket the mini excavator will be lifted

Lifting a mini excavator WITHOUT a blade:
1. Position the boom and bucket to the side of the vehicle, parallel to the track
2. Push the boom and bucket down into the ground to lift the mini excavator

Whenever you're working on a track and you have an operator in the machine make sure your operator lifts the safety lever. Otherwise, if you accidentally bump the lever the machine could drop.

Now you're ready to change the rubber track.
Once you're done changing the track, we recommend you run the track forwards and backward to make sure it has the proper tension.
