some one else may have a better answer but just measuring the two side by side I believe they would interchange. Seems like i remember the bolt holes in the pads being different so you would have to use the d4 rails. I may be wrong but i have pondered the same idea before being how my Thirty has worn out pads (and some one put them on backwards)

Hello, The rails and pad bolt hole centers are 1/4 inch wider on a D-4. 30 rails/pads will not interchange with D-4 rails/pads. You can put D-4 rails and pads on a 30, but they are 1/4 inch wider, which gives you more side to side movement on the sprockets and front idlers. I have a 30 with D-4 tracks on it, and they tend to want to walk off alot. Caterpillarman

Thanks for that info caterpillarman. I think that i have d4 pads and rails on my thirty:mmph: I'm gonna go break out the tapemeasure tomorrow and confirm cause it jump the rails off the bottom rollers easily if you adjust the track properly. We've got them over tightened a hair and they dont jump off.

Testimonials

"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."
