Dont want to make you cat guys sick but when cat switched from the B series to the C series they had the B series undercarrige order for the C and they couldnt use them. Sold them out to customers..all complete roller frames hydraulic motors and hoses all complete tracks ready to bolt on to your B for 12 grand! It was my lucky day. They sit on a pallet all ready to bolt on. BIG SMILES FROM ME Thank you thank you thank you.

cat 287 tracks
i have been running my tracks for 3 years now and i am hard on my machines
the track drive is holding up real well.. the rubber tracks are good for another 3 years..how ever i have had to replace a set of barrings in the rear roller wheels cost 1800.00 due to a hole in the dust cover but all in all its a great machine
