Question about JD 440 ICD Sprockets

[thomastractorsvc]

Does any one one know the difference between the T16261T and the T16259T Sprockets are other than one is from an older machine. Mine has the T16259T but those sprockets are like hens teeth. I spent most of the day finding out no JD Dealers in the USA have them listed as NOS or any of the old parts wholesalers, but they could find dozens of the T16261T.

Thanks

If you do a search on this board, you'll find that the T16259 sprocket situation is pretty much your experience and there aren't any to find. Here's a post that describes overall what many of the undercarriage differences are across the Deere line. When Lavoy checks in, he can tell you the specific difference between the T16259 and T16261 but I believe it's the depth of the sprocket dish and hole pattern.

There's always 350 weld on rims.

The offset is 1" narrower on the T16259, and the two do not interchange, at least not on a 440.
