Track chain specs?

Post by Lowly » Sun Jul 13, 2025 7:06 am

Good morning,

Been a while since I've done much with my 420C but I've been watching Squatch with his D2's and D4's on You Tube and it's got me thinking about my old timer. I did look through the FAQ's and didn't see a post about the spec's for the track chain to determine if mine is rebuildable or not. I did find one post with the new rail height spec. Lavoy, do you have those specs? My memory is that you rebuild tracks, if they aren't too worn to work with?

Seems to me 3 1/8" sticks in my head, I think it is in the service manual specifications section. Pitch is 23" is new, 23.5 is 100% worn,

OK, my rail height looks pretty good but the pitch is beyond 100% worn. If memory serves you had a source for pins and bushings? Should I contact you directly to figure out how to get the chains from Vt. to No Dakota?

Yes, I just got another batch of pins and bushings done. Email me at postmaster@jdcrawlers.com and we can coordinate.
