40C tracks
I have a'54 4 roller and a 5 roller 40C. Tracks on the 4 roller are fair, tracks on 5 roller bad wore out. The 5 roller frame is going to get a restored drive train so I need to do something about tracks. Either pin & bush the 5 roller tracks or find another set of tracks or find enough pads to lengthen the 4 roller tracks to fit. Can anybody help? Also, will 420 tracks fit a 40?

Hi,
There is also the option of using JD 350 chain if you cut the teeth off of the older sprocket and weld a 350 rim sprocket onto it. The 350 chain has a different pitch but it fits the rollers and idlers ok.
I mention it because 350 chain and rim sprockets are still available new.

That is only true for early serial number 2010 track links/chain (through s/n 42,000), although the early 2010 has more links than needed for a 420. The track links for later serial number 2010s are the same as for the 350 crawlers, just fewer links.mapaduke@yahoo.com wrote:the 420 chan is the same through the 2010.

420 chain is also 2 bolt, 2010 is 4 bolt. Pitch and bushing size is the same though, regarding 2010 under 42,000.
