I have a new to me cx130. Need new track pads and bucket bushings etc. this is for farm use so pretty low hrs will be put in it.

Your digger is a Simitomo sold in North America as Case and Linkbelt. Dismantlers would be a good place to look but you'd probably have to buy the complete track chain. That then gives you 2 options, use the new purchase or swap the grousers.

Do you want to stay with the rubber pads or go to conventional triple grouser pads? I think triple grouser might be less expensive and last indefinely on an excavator.

You need to see if you can swap the pads with triple grouser and if the chains are the same. If might be completely different undercarriage for the rubber pad type tracks.

yes, will measure up and confirm if steel tracks bolt to those chains. It was a county machine 4000hrs, i guess they were running on asphalt and doing gyrations:)
