Cat lists a 1 5/8" long bolt 4K7038 and 7K2017 nut. Yours was probably a hex nut and lock washer, Cat now uses the shorter bolt with the square nut now.
Ok next odd ball question I saved a set of freshly rebuilt track chains and pads from the scrap yard but those like the book say only have 31 links/pads.....my old track on my machine actually have 32, both are 4 roller side frames....and my tensioner is not all the way out was there a different option for say a larger idler or somthing that allows for 1 extra link/ pad??
Just went to re- measure the bolt I took out it is definitely 1-3/4 long and had a square nut on it with no lock washer.
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."
