How do you put a track back on a Takeuchi excavator? Looking for real-world tips

[Mr. McTuggart]

Hey everyone, still pretty new to wrenching on compact excavators, and ran into my first thrown track on a Takeuchi (TB series). I was working on uneven ground, and the rubber track walked off the front idler while I was tracking sideways.

been there, grease the adjuster to slack the track, use the bucket to gently walk it back on the idler, then re-tension and double-check alignment before moving.
