Hi,
This Dozer was built in the 50's I believe and is a smaller than a D2. Case bought the product line in the 60's.

I am rebuilding the undercarriage but parts are not available so I am upgrading to Deere 40 pins and bushings which means I have to bore the rails (links) to larger diameters for interference fit of pins and bushings.

Some of the rails are broken.

Does anybody know where I can buy some used rails to replace the broken rails?

Welcome to TBN. :)

Have you tried "Heavyquip"? They may have a complete set of chains that'll run on your rollers and sprockets without having to do all that machining.

Muhammad and
creekbend -- Thank you for the welcome .

pjbci, Thanks for the tip. I sent them and inquiry. However I have already bought the Deere 40 pins and bushings, built a milling machine fixture, and have about 20 hours of machining into the project -- only about 40 hrs to go. I have a lot more time than money but not much time either.

Anyway it will be interesting to see if Heavyquip has anything and for how much.

Thanks again everyone.

Hope you can find some. If not maybe you can weld up your broken links. I have seen people build up on em with welding rods so surely welding on the rails wont cause them too break.

WELCOME to TBN :)

I moved your thread to the Construction Equipment Forum.

Just a thought, but are Deere rails the same pitch?
And then there's the rubber track option.
