Just curious what some options are on the condition of my UC.
This is an early 90’s Cat 227 (feller buncher) converted to an excavator. Apparently has a D7 UC. The chain links appear to be Berco CR5490 and 5491.
I have a line on a parts machine with double grousers tracks. The entire UC is in excellent condition. I can get it for less than scrap value. Along with the UC I’d be salvaging lots of other parts before sending it for scrap. The upgrade to double grousers over my singles is tempting. Less wear and tear and a little more gentle on the ground. This is a homestead machine.
Aside from the obvious damage (smashed chain link and some flattened upper rollers) the overall condition doesn’t seem too bad to me, but then again steel tracked equipment was never my specialty.
