I would try to swap them for a set of 16" , surely there is someone with a wide D2 , 16" pads & not wanting to run a blade that would love the 20" pads.
It would be a shame to cut down good 20" pads. You could sell them to the right person and make more than it would cost to get some 16" ones.
You better do some measuring , all the Hardy's I ever saw used D4 and D6 drive train
Hi Willie,
Today I took one of my grouser pads and they match up perfectly except for the 20". The hole layouts are exactly the same and the profile is the same. Is there a demand for 20" pads for dozers? I might be willing to trade someone for 16" pads that are in good shape. I need 66 total. I did not even check to see if they would work on mine, but I really don't need 20" pads and would rather keep mine pretty much stock, I have a late model serial number 17,500 and it's an orchard model.
I have some nice 16'' pads on one of late D2s I will swap with you. I will be moving several pieces of equipment to Oakland within the next few weeks, so we could save on the freight. Thanks John 714-984-3616.
It would be a shame to cut up wide pads as there are far more 16s then 20s . Id look around and do some trading and did you get and rollers or idlers from it? Rollers are getting had to find also. I'm second in line here but I have a tailseat J with 16s Id trade![]()
