The cat 977H track adjuster cylinder blew a seal. In order to repack the gland seals in the cylinder the track had to be split. The side needing repair was already 1 link longer than the other side (was that way ever since I owned it). Pins and bushings are fair so I cut the master link out with torch.....buy a new Berco pin. Repack cylinder and repair track. Back in action. The same could be done even if not needing to remove a link you would just need to purchase a replacement link.
