Sprocket Convertibility
If change to Cat sprocket is necessary or
desirable, a weld-on rim or adapter is
required. Overall tip diameter and weld
surface diameter available should be
measured.
Measure Result
E. — Tip Diameter This dimension de-
termines appropriate
Cat adapter or rim.
F. — Weld Surface This dimension helps
determine if adequate
material is available
to weld on Cat rim or
adapter.
Overall diameter of Cat sprocket (E) must
clear competitive machine roller frame,
guards, etc. Weld surface diameter (F)
must allow for cutting competitive machine
hub to appropriate Cat rim or adapter weld
dimension. Care should be taken to assure
sprocket remains in line with rollers when
converting to Cat segments or rims.
Track Roller, Carrier Roller
and Idler Convertibility
If change to Cat track roller and/or other
rolling components is either necessary or
desirable, some component removal may be
required to obtain accurate measurements
for comparison to Cat dimensions. Refer to
“Undercarriage Conversion Reference
Guide” form number PEGP2806 for addi-
tional assistance. Modification to the
mounting bolt holes or the track roller end
collars may be required.

dure and modification, refer to the follow-
