The following instructions are included with each guide lug kit but are reprinted here for your reference..

Installation Instructions:

Support the track. For best results, it is recommended that the track be removed from the tractor. The track should be supported such that the location of the lug that is being replaced is laying on a flat surface.

Prepare the Surface. The track surface must be smooth, level, and uniform in order for the new lug to be installed properly. Trim any loose or remaining guide lug material and buff smooth the area to the same level as the surrounding carcass.

Drill or “open” the bolt holes. Use the guide lug and retainer plate as a template to locate and start the holes. It is recommended to use a good quality ½” cobalt or titanium bit to make the holes in the track carcass. Operate the drill at a very slow speed –opening a channel not drilling through the cables. When the main cables are contacted, push firmly and work the bit between 2 of the cables while “bumping” the trigger.

Drive Bolt through Carcass. Assemble bolts and retaining plate and insert into the new guide lug. Position the guide lug assembly over the holes. Using an air wrench, press firmly downward as you thread the bolts through the carcass. The bolts will pull right through and the guide will snug up to the track.

Install/Tighten Washer/Nut. As the bolts will be protruding through the carcass, the washer and nut can be easily started. In some cases, you may need to trim the treadbar around the bolt position in order to have a flat surface to seat the washer and nut. Tighten the bolt until the washer is compressed 1/8” into the track carcass.
