Hi all,
I’m looking at a PC50UU-1, almost certainly a grey-market machine, with a serial number around 15xx. It’s fitted with rubber tracks, but I have some doubts that they are the correct ones for this model. Observations:
I’m torn between this being a correct setup for an early serial number machine (except tracks), OR some kind of grey-market peculiarity.
Does anyone have parts information relevant to the early PC50UU-1 undercarriage or track types?
Many thanks

- The tracks don’t sit well in the load rollers.
- The idlers show flat spots and bending, which suggests they’ve been over-tensioned. I suspect the idler radius is too small for the length of these links.
- The tracks have 36 links, but most (unverified) specs I’ve found mention that they should be 70 links.
- The tracks only engage every second tooth on the sprocket.
