The following is the correct procedure and lubricants to use for servicing track rollers, track idlers, and carrier rollers. This information has not been provided in the reference manuals in the past.
The recommended lubricant for the track rollers and track idlers is 4C-4774 Grease Cartridge. This is a high temperature resistant grease, NLGI Grade 2, and is packaged in a 0.47 L (16 oz) cartridge.
The procedure is to repack the bearings when needed in the 7R-0248 Track Roller Group, 7R-0239 Track Roller Group (Rear), and the 7R-0224 Front Idler Group.
The 6S-3609 Carrier Roller Groups should be refilled with 1 L (34 oz) of HDTO4 grade, SAE 30 drive train and hydraulic oil. Caterpillar part number reference for this oil in bulk form is 2P-9869 Oil. A more convenient package for this oil is 9X-6467 Oil which is a 5 L (1.3 gal) container.
Until the reference manual has been revised, make a note on the pages listed to follow these instructions and specifications.
