Yup ITM , they were lubricated at one point lol. Cat said they could sell me new pins and bushings but the tolerances on ITMs chain are so bad they would go dry again soonOriginally Posted by landworksTN

Yeah I wouldnt pour any more money in those either. Better start all over with another brand. Im still undecided really, i've heard pros and cons about all of them. Got berco now and had extremely good wear. I'll go back with them if I can afford the expense for them.
Ya this machine gets 500 hours a year about so idk what to spend
If i find out anymore info during my harassing price check calling around, i'll let you in on it. lol
Well, it didn't go so well talking to boyd and sons this time like it did when I met them in person. The guy I talked to was an extreme jerk and wouldnt give me time to even tell him what I was looking for. I could tell he was, in a way, hurring me up like he was trying to get off the phone.lol. Our total conversation lasted maybe two minutes before he must have needed to go with a promise that he would call me back the next morning with an estimated cost. That was 4 days ago now, ha ha. Well anyway, im sure there is plenty of companies out there wanting a new customer.
Im interested on pricing a berco and trek full set of undercarriage if anyone knows of a helpful company out there that seems to have reasonable costs. The closer to TN the better although it's not a must since i'll have to be shipping it to me, thanks guys....and gals
You may want to try H E Parts Distribution. They were very helpful when we purchased a track and gear last month.

I'm one of the parts reps for the Volvo dealer in KY, and I'd be happy to give you a quote for your D4H if you're still needing one. We've been selling alot of V-Track undercarriages the past few years for just about every major brand, but we can get you a good price on Berco parts if you're set on that brand. Shoot me a PM with the s/n of your dozer if you're interested or you can call me anytime at 859-455-6586.

Where would you find the manufactor on a set of dozer tracks?
Usually it is cast or stamped into the links.

Yair . . . excuse my ignorance fellers but on these pages I have never seen any reference to the rebuilding of rails. Is this a discontinued practice?
On the 21's we used to do it on the turn and when we changed the bushes. I have even put a quarter inch on a Fowler by hand.
Cheers.

I worked for a mob on the Gold Coast , that had a Submerged Arc welder for rebuilding rails . Also did rollers and Idlers . Talked to the track guy in Bundaberg a couple of years ago about rebuilding rollers . He said cost of Labour made rebuilding no longer viable.
