They're being run to destruction at this point. Track is not out of adjustment and rail height is still good, but yes, the pins have been dry for a while.
1. We have a dozer and loader. Don't have a track hoe.
2. We were going to make it walk-out, but after flooding last summer that didn't look like such a good idea, so now the broken wall is going to be replaced about 3' high and the yard lowered.
Ok, I don't get it. Why a bull dozer? Wouldn't an excavator be a better choice? What is the reason for moving the dirt so far away and digging such a large hole to simply fix the basement wall? Is there going to be an expansion of the home as well?
While the bulldozer is going back and forth, someone needs to run along the side with a can of industrial strength WD-40 and lubricate the tread so it don't squeak.
Hearing that noise is like scratching the chalkboard with your fingernails.
the pins and bushings are worn badly,you can see the track get snaky when the operator steers.

Either way, great video as usual!
