Well I purchased a new, unused set of OC-6 tracks from the 'UP' of Michigan. Just what I need  :)
Turns out they are new OC-12 tracks. Is guess that's good because I assume they are rarer, but my poor OC-6 is still left with these highly sought-after battered, convex grousers  >:(

Here's the OC-12 tracks :o Does this mean I should find an OC-12 and a bigger trailer/truck?  ;D

Are you interested in selling the OC12 tracks

OC-12 tracks are probably not rarer, but I'm sure there is a lot more demand for them than OC-6 tracks.

More pics showing floating bushings and offset grouser bolts (unlike OC-9 which have parallel bolts)

One quick way to tell a Cletrac A from a B is by the tracks pads. A tracks have their bolts in a straight line, and B tracks have them staggered wide and narrow. OC-12 tracks are the same as B tracks.
