Does anyone know what the acceptable rail height is on a D2 3J, maybe new vs 100% worn? Also how many links were are supossed to be on a new set of chains?
D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time😄
Ok......well my rails are 100% worn at 2.75 inches. My sprokets are good and front idlers need some minor attention which I will address. My rollers are worn, and I am in the process of welding them up back to spec. I found brand new 30 link rails for $1421.82, which I am going to get headed my way very shortly. While I am waiting on the new rails to get here, would it be a good idea to go ahead and put everything back together after idler and roller repair and run it a little bit to smooth things out a little before installing the new rails?
