Pc360-10 gotta replace track rail , what’s the big difference between itr aftermarket vs oem ? Gonna keep machine for awhile yet .can get the aftermarket for under 5k$ for both . Thanks
good question I would also like to knowfirst post said itr. Who makes rails for Kommie, or do they make their own?
would u suggest ? ThanksWhat brand chain are you getting. The big issue you have to check is the pitch of the links. I've never found Komatsu chains to be all the good in the first place so always recommended shopping around.
Liquid nitrogen is pretty cheap to freeze the pins and then some heat on the links goes a long wayI ordered the oem , as the dealer give me a deal almost the same as aftermarket , but now I have to figure out how I will press pin in, have a feeling oem is better quality .
I'm having very bad luck with ITR lately. Bought new rollers for a CX210C and 1/3 of them never turned. The top roller flanges aren't as thick for the bolt length so you either have to put washers on or get shorter bolts. They're 1/2" out of line from the oem rollers also. I took them back and went with oem.
If they are press fit, get the tracks installed and have someone come out and press them. They have fiber seals and you need a spacer in between the side links or they will seize on the bushing and the pad bolt holes won't line up. If you are going to try to heat and beat, you need to have the pad installed and bolted down hard. You won't get the pin all the way to the other side even with nitrogen because the end you are beating on will swell and be stuck. As I recall there is about 0.007 inch press between the pin and the link bore. I've used a flap wheel on used track before going through the install. I wouldn't recommend it on new track though.[/QUOTE thank you
