If the track clutches have brakes attached to them, the position for them would be roped 1/2 way back. This allows the track clutches to be disengaged, but the track brakes to be free. If it has only foot brakes, the track clutches should be both back all the way. The master clutch should also be in the released (non-driving) position. this assures there will be no attempt to spin the engine. Yes, pulling on the top of the track (either direction so as to have the chain along the top)will allow 1/2 the force to be used. The top of the track moves forward at twice ground travel, and allows much easier pulling. Once the chain connection gets to the point that it is near the same end you are pulling from, it will be necessary to re attach it. Attach the chain so it does not get caught in track guide running gear, and stays clear of frame and other components. making two flat plate hooks from 1/2" steel plate that can fit between the track plates may be a good idea. Another would be a ring placed between the plates with a 3/4" X 6" rod stuck through under the plate to keep it in place, while hooking a chain hook into the top part of the loop above the track plate. Keep people away from the operation at all costs. Also be in total control of the pulling unit to be able to stop. Pull from both sides at once when going straight, and only a bit at a time when turning or the chain attachment will come and cause grief. Take a video of it!! JimN
