Part number 6T-6782. Question is why in the world would they discontinue these segments to a solid bolt on ring?? Segments are way easier to change and no longer available
I would say $$$$$$$ either they arent making enough on segments and if its a solid sprocket you have to buy the whole thing and not separate segments... I have segmented sprockets on my komatsu d-58 and replacing 1 at a time if I had to, would be extremely easier than if it was a single piece...Thanks I found a couple sets on eBay but why in the world would they discontinue a segmented sprocket.
That would be my guess as wellMaybe trying to keep segments from working loose. The "field fix" was always to weld the segments together to prevent them flogging the bolts holes out in the hub when the hardware came loose.
interesting thought, and if you did only cut it in 3rds, that would be plenty to change out and not have to pull a track...I wonder if the segments are cast with extra material to beef them up since a 1 piece would have more integral strength...What would be wrong with buying a solid ring and sawing it into segments?? May sound dumb but anyone ever pulled a track frame off a dozer like this may not think so.
