Nice chart for undercarriages. Glad that mine is practically new. Have to keep my eyes open for some 12" dozer pads tho. Only half of Mine were replaced with new. Other half is worn street pads. If I can't find some I'll just weld hardox on for grousers.

I'm just learning capabilities of parts on these Machines but does anything from the 1010 crawler bolt up to the 440s? Like a Dozers frame or finals or pto or such?
