How SteelTracks.com Brought a 1985 Kubota KH170 Back to Life
For years, a 1985 Kubota KH170 had been a workhorse, its owner proud of how well it still ran despite its age. But when the steel tracks bushings finally gave out, finding replacements proved to be a headache. The Kubota dealer had no useful information, and the other suppliers he contacted were no help either, insisting on product codes and part numbers that didn’t seem to exist for a machine from the 1980s.
Frustrated, he came across SteelTracks.com and gave us a call. Unlike the others, we didn’t rely on outdated part numbers or buttons to push. We knew the secret: steel tracks aren’t rocket science. Many chains from the ’80s are still interchangeable today if you know what to look for.
All we needed were a few key details—how many shoes his old tracks had and the inner guide width of the chains. With that information, we figured it out and quickly got him the new steel shoes he needed. No guesswork, no confusion, just experience and problem-solving.
Within days we’d figured it out and within a few weeks, his Kubota KH170 was back up and running, ready to take on more work. A simple solution, rooted in a deep understanding of the industry, brought this old champ back to life. Visit: Viqan Replacement Tracks & Undercarriage Parts for Heavy Equipment
