cat d9h and kamatsu 355

[fiat41b]

I thought the kamatsu d355 was more in line with the fiat 41
I'm not for sure what the actual track pitch is on a d9h or g is but going thru my tractors history file I found papers with tracks from kamatsu d355
my d8k is 9.00 in pitch
long time ago was working for a guy lost track pad on d65 lgp went to dealer bought a pad it would not fit as it has cat tracks

sorry its the d455 that's basically same size as 41b vta1710 cummins engine
I guess I was just wondering if 355 has same pitch as d9h on the tracks

The rails on a D355 should be 10.25 pitch, 88mm bushing OD where D9G/H uses similar at 10.25 pitch 89mm OD. Could be a direct interchange without sprocket wear.

Might be issue with roller flanges that requires widening of D9G-H.

FA41B trans pinion breakage was issue and steering clutch-brake drum wear (sticky release) after 3,000hrs usage. Komatsu 455, 2 transmissions in 1 case, like ALL larger Komatsu use 8,000hrs and sell!!!!

Komatsu used a different 'master link', you should be able to ID that way...OR post a photo of the master link used on your D9.
