Hi, D8Dude.
Cat made quite a selection of pads for many of their models. A look at the options in a parts book for 8R might give the answer. I don't know if there is one in the tech. library'
Just my 0.02.
No such shoe in the parts book. I believe Westrack may have made that style.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Hi, ROME K/G.
I suspect that I have seen something similar on a Cletrac crawler - dunno what model.
JUst my 0.02.
Could be military. Some tracked landing craft had wavy track shoes like that for beach landings.
Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. It intrigued me a little as I've never seen one in the manuals, it's an odd shoe, the only one like it on the machine, and I've not seen another one.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
another bit of farmer engineering. a she'll do cuase it fits job. and the machine went back to work.
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.
