Crescent Track Seals (noncurrent)
This type of seal provides adequate seala-
bility. Reuse crescent seals because of
established wear patterns between the seal
and the end of the bushing.
Always reuse crescent track seals at
bushing turn time.
CTS Inspection Report
The Custom Track Service Inspection
Report provides a convenient format for
recording information and computed
values that are important to report under-
carriage condition to the user. It also acts
as a history record of past conditions and
recommendations. The exact format is not
as important as accurately calculating and
completely recording all data. The
Caterpillar form shown here is used for
illustrative purposes because it contains
most of the important elements required to
perform the above functions. A discussion
on it and the use of Total Life Scales and
Recommendation Checklist, printed on the
back of the Caterpillar form follows.
