OK, I did a search and kept taking words out until I found a post on the track weights. Looks like just under 4,000lb a side.
Sorry but I cant remember the name of that big Y piece that the spring rides on and is bolted at 2 spots under the rear winch????
Anyone know what that whole deal would weigh?
Be good, Jim
Don't have any idea what the track frame weighs but it will be plenty heavy.
Rollers about 200 lbs ea.
Idler about 500 lbs
Carrier rollers about 100 lbs
Rock guards ???
Old Magnet....
I have a JD 500B backhoe. The front loader will barely lift up the track frame assy. It will pick up the chain and pads no problem. They weigh I guess a touch under 4,000lb. So, I am thinking 5,000 for a track frame????
Thanks by the way for telling me what to call it. For the life of me, I couldn't remember. Track frame-----DUH!!!
Be good, Jim
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
