I am trying to put the track back on my DMC 1450 and the track jacks keep slipping off. The first track went on without too much difficulty but the second is being a real stinker. The inner band seems to be tighter than the outer one and the jack keeps slipping off as I try to align the lacing before putting the pin in. Have debated about tying the jack down to the track with rope, but figured it a good idea to ask here first.
Am a bit nervous about how the one end of the jacks pulls on the tracks as well. The hooked end goes into the open edge of the grouser, causing it to roll over a bit instead of pulling against the bottom edge. Do not know if I am using the proper jacks as these are borrowed from where I purchased the machine and they do not know if they are the original jacks or not. Have attached a pic of the jacks collapsed all the way down. The ends are not as wide as the bands so sit on top of them.
Is this correct? Any helpful suggestions?
