Bobcat S 175

ty2748 · Feb 23, 2012

I have a S 175 rubber tire skidsteer. I want to put my steel tracks on it when it's muddy. I need to add spacers to get the tires away from the body so the tracks will fit. The dealer wants $160 for each 11/2" wide spacer. I have to replace the tire lugs with longer ones also.
Does anyone know where I might get these cheaper, maybe a Bobcat junkyard if there is such a place?
Thanks for any help.

What brand of tracks are you tyring to use? and what size wheel tires dot you have?

If you have the standard 10.00 X 16.5 tire & wheels spacers are not required to install Bobcat, or most styles of Grouser & Loegering tracks on the S175.

Sorry I didn't see your reply. We have the Loegering steel tracks. And I believe we have 10x 16.5 tires. Does your steel tracks fit? We tried but it wouldn't fit, that's why I called the dealer. Maybe I am missing something.
Thanks for any help.
