Rubber blocks

FredR · Oct 7, 2016

Where would a guy find those rubber blocks that I've seen bolted to the pads of crawlers? They are there so, I assume, they dont rip up grass or wreck wooden decks when being displayed or moved around at tractor shows. I think I'm going to need some!

Back in the day they were called "street pads". Don't know if they use the same name anymore; they keep changing the names of things to get you to pay more.

Many names for several things. Street pads are also what people commonly refer to for the steel pads that are NOT 1 bar grousers but rather have 3 shorter flat bars.
I have seen what this fellow refers to but don't know if there is a common name for them or where you would buy them ? Many times in dozer parts books I think they are listed as an option.

I found some years ago at a large army surplus yard, they were used on tanks.

Just googled "rubber track pads"; came up with 5 pages of suppliers.

Not sure where they got them but a company I worked for had them to go on their cable plow and they are great when on track is running on the edge of the road or in yards but traction goes downhill considerably

What about using old conveyer belt strips? unless your going to shows every weekend i'd imagine it'd be cheaper and easier to use belt strips???
