not sure how much never bought any jd's before had yamaha gpx's but changed all the cleated tracks to rubber ones it was cheaper that way

Heads up on the broken cleats codeblue.

They are suppose to be broken right in the middle.

if you buy a brand new one it isn't broken so why is it ok to leave the broken ones on there pretty soon something will break as i am not a jd guru so forgive me if i sound a bit stupid as i always told if they are broken then replace them.

There's a complete track on Ebay right now. As to your question "if you buy a brand new one it isn't broken?" Well here's my guess, stick with me here caller............most likely it's hard to ship brand new cleats pre-broken because how would you know which end goes with which end?

Someone needs to chime in here.

The cleats are designed with a fracture point in the very center.

They are suppose to break in the center.

This is a uniquie thing found only on the Deere sleds.

If they are broken or worn in someplace other than the center replacement is needed.

I have a bunch of cleats parted where they should be, got about 30 i think, anyone interested in this yet? They are solid just some shelf rust over many many years.
