D5Mxl new undercarriage & Track Extension

[bigbudsr67]

My local Cat dealer just finished installing new Undercarriage and extended the track. Three more grousers and one roller per side . Modified my rock guards. A lot more stable on going up or down hills out here.

That was common some time ago for machines in forestry. It looks nice.

How did they add the length? Did they replace the track frame?

 

[bigbudsr67]

Under the final is where they added length, just under 30". They have been doing this for the Cal fire Dozers and guy's like me.

So it is a D5M XLR now.

i have the oposite problem in my d5h ... if it was closer we could have swapped trak frames
eventually will cut 3 rolers out of mine.
