Spitfire track

[AndrewJossund]

Im looking at a pretty nice 1979 JD Spitfire. the track is bad on this seld, would the track from a JDX or 500 fit?

Someone else will confirm but I am going to say no that it won't. There are some models of Trailfires that will fit.

Below is info on track interchange on the Spitfire. It was posted a while back by Joe Rainville and I copied in only part of the post. The direct drives used a track that was shorter than most. They're a hard track to find.

About the JDX8 engine that did not have spark that we were talking about yesterday in Halstad. The 75 may not have had CDI ignition. According to info on this website, a CDI conversion kit was provided for the 75 so they would have CDI only if converted.


Direct drive track info.

All "Direct Drive" Spitfire, Snow and Sprintfire 15" cleated tracks interchange with each other. And, the 79-80 Trailfire and 1980 Sportfire track also fits the direct drive sleds. The 81 and up Trail and Sport cleated tracks DO NOT fit the direct drive sleds, as Deere increased the track width about 1/2" that year, and it does not fit into the tunnel of the DD sleds. Approx. dimentions: 116" X 15 with a 2" drive lug pitch

Thanks! I talked to my dad when I got home and he said that the first winter my uncle had that JDX8 he had done something with the ignition, wich must have been the CDI conversion. My JDX4 that I couldnt get spark on must not have been converted. I found a track for my JDX4 so ill be back in buisness. Thanks again for the info, it was nice meeting you yesterday!
