[QUOTE="lesgawlik, post: 73229, member: 4115"] That being said, the grease in the extension tubes is like air in your car tires -- there's no way to get too much unless you put it in there. The natural course of things is for the tracks to go slack. You do not want the tracks to get too slack, or they will jump off the sprockets. I've had it happen a few times, and it seems to occur in the worst possible places. That's when you have to release the grease to allow the front idlers to move backwards, and get enough slack to work the tracks back into place. [/QUOTE]
