I have a 2009 Bobcat E60 with just under 5000 hours. I'm putting new tracks on it, and noticed that the top of the undercarriage frames are getting rusty and pitted from dirt sitting on top of them. This is the old style with square topped frames instead of sloped like many newer machines have.
I've been wanting to make these sloped for easier track cleaning but never thought it was feasible. Then, with the track off I was able to see that it was possible, though the part with the tensioner couldn't be cut back as much as the part near the drive motor.
Used 3/8" plate for the new angle pieces, welded inside and out.
