What information do you need before ordering parts?
Parts compatibility is exacting. Two machines in the same ton class can use different tracks, engine filters, starters, or hydraulic parts depending on model year and engine package.
| Part type | What to verify | Example detail |
|---|---|---|
| Rubber track | Width x pitch x link count | 180 x 72 x 37 style sizing |
| Engine filter | Engine brand and part number | RATO, Kubota, B&S, or Yanmar family |
| Starter or switch | Engine model and wiring plug | H15, H12R, QH12R family parts |
| Hydraulic part | Cylinder, hose, thread, and pressure rating | Model-specific fitment |
How should you measure rubber tracks?
- Measure track width in millimeters.
- Confirm pitch, which is the distance between drive lugs.
- Count the number of links around the track.
- Replace both tracks together when wear is uneven or severe.
