Cat 22

Patsdeere · Aug 31, 2023

Curious if anybody could give me a ball park price on redoing pins and bushings on a cat 22. They are currently football shaped. It's it something that can be done in a well equipped shop or must it be hired out?

hired out. Needs a 60 ton jack to push pins out.

I had quite a few pin and bushing turns done some years back on D2, D4's. Seems like it was about $600. Now days probably hard to find a shop with a track press let alone anyone that knows how to run it. There was a guy with a mobile outfit around Stockton, he may be still out there. New parts might be a challenge. I had D2 tracks done with new p&b I think they were Italian, Simmel I believe. It seems like not long ago but it must be 35 years ago or more. The guy that did it is dead.

There are Cat Twenty Two owners on this forum that probably have the specs (Bruce?). Unless you're near a big city with the right shop, your best bet might be to find new track chains. Wild guess price might be around $1500 delivered for both including shoe bolts.

You might check with Cat. I had some done at Peterson but it was a long time ago, 80's.

if they are that bad , look for better chains. the end result will be 4 x's the cat value.

A customer of ours who had a 22 was looking for tracks us been in the repair business, we could not help him as there was no chance of finding usable tracks in the UK, his was rusted away from laying idle for years, as a joke I said to him ah get a set of rubber tracks the same pitch and length and stick them on they will do long enough on a hobby tractor, he did, and they worked great, what or where he got them I do not recall as it was back in the nineties.
