Hello all, my first post to the forum. Im 25 y/o and over the past 9 months I have taken on my first nut and bolt restoration of a 61 D4C 40A. My goal is to finish by labor day, so it can be taken to a local tractor show on that day. The last piece of the puzzle I need to locate is a set of good track frames for it. Part #’s 1M 9367/1M9368. Mine are badly rotten as the machine spent most of it life in an MA cranberry bog. As complete as possible, springs rollers idlers the whole nine yards, I will replace parts if need be. Im located in Northeast Connecticut, but will travel a few hours either direction to pick up. Id prefer not to be crazy far away because shipping costs would be astronomical. Ive posted online and had a few deals fall through, and its getting down to crunch time. I will also consider taking a whole machine if the deal is right, can have a blown engine/trans/caught on fire doesnt matter as long as the bottom is good. Also a Cat blade is something Im looking for, mine has what looks like a homemade blade set up and Id like an actual Cat set up, pump, controls, tank and all. Some photos attached of the project so far. Any info would be great. My number is (860) 576-1287 or respond to me here. Thank you!

Welcome to the forum. Looks like a very thorough job you are doing there.
I don’t know of any D4C track frames but if I did they would be this side of the pond!
Hopefully someone closer will be able to help.

I will even offer a finders fee to anyone who can locate track frames for me. I only have 2ish months until my goal end date is here. Ive been searching for 8 months. Someones got to have either a parts machine or the parts themselves. Please reach out if anyone has a lead! Thank you, Mike

I do not believe so. Originally I was told they did fit, but then after doing some research along with other peoples input it seems they are slightly different. I think its the equalizer location and potentially length? Not 100% sure

Believe it or not I actually have called on that one, and when I called them they say they have no record of the machine in their system at all. My luck!

It don't look like the 12A 955's will work.
