Wow, Imajica! - You've sure got your moneys worth (and someone elses, too!) out of those 931B track shoes!!

TruckorTrack seem to have the best prices on undercarriage at present. They appear to be selling ITR brand.

It was quite a few years ago but I recall the pads from Trek were $15 or $17 each. I have quite a few good used pads still bolted on the old chains but I also have 20 to 30 that are loose so I just went with all new and paid an extra $300 or so to have them bolted on the rails in the track press. It would have been time consuming and a bit of a hassle torque turning 288 track bolts. The 8 for the master links is easy and fast.

I got a quote from Aftermarket Express in FL last week, they want $19.80 each for 14" shoes for the 931B.
This supplier in FL was throwing them out as surplus for under $10 each a few months back, the offer didn't last long. When I contacted them, there was only 5 left at that price.

$9.60 is a great price but so is $19.80 actually. Not worth re-grousering or trying to get more life out of worn pads at that price. Each pad weighs a few pounds and when you figure in the bolt holes they are pretty cheap. What brings the cost up is you need 70 or 72 plus master pads. Early 931B used 36 pads per side and later models used 37 per side.
