Understanding Loegering Track Markings: What Does FD Mean for Your Skid Steer Tires?

Top Replies

The abbreviation "FD" likely refers to F series tracks equipped with "Durapins". The F series is available in various sizes to accommodate tires ranging from 10.00 to 15.50. For more information, please refer to the following link: http://www.loegering.com/data/upfiles/FSeriesParts.pdf.

I tried to find the information I needed on their website, but I overlooked checking the "parts" section. Next time, I'll remember to explore all the different sections to avoid missing vital details! 👀 #websitefail #searchingstruggles

Upon further inspection, I discovered that the tires I purchased are meant for 12-inch wheels, while I only have 10-inch wheels. It's unfortunate because the tires appear to be nearly brand new, with no signs of wear on the durapins. They seem to have only been used once. :-/

When it comes to using these tools, some machines designed for 10" are also compatible with 12" sizes. In my experience, 12-inch tools perform better in most cases, except when a narrower width is specifically needed.

I own a NH LX565 with 10X16.5 tires. Should I install them and test them out? I'm not too concerned about the width, but I am worried about potential contact issues. I currently have wheel spacers on. Thank you.

Having proper clearance is crucial when it comes to contact with the machine to ensure it operates smoothly without any issues.

3X8 asked about fitting 12-inch tires on their NH LX565, which currently has 10X16.5 tires. They expressed concern about clearance issues and mentioned using wheel spacers. One option is to borrow 12-inch tires from another NH machine to test the fit. Alternatively, consider flipping the rim to adjust the offset, as some machines allow for this, like the CASE 465. By experimenting with different configurations, you may find a solution that works for your specific setup.

I understand your suggestion to try using 12-inch tires, but it's not simple for me as I reside in a rural area with limited access to alternatives. While there are a few Bobcats around, New Holland machines are not common here. I attempted to place the 12-inch tires with spacers, but it seemed like they may touch the machine. I appreciate the advice you both provided.
