We currently have a 259B3 with 320 x 53 x 86 "block" pattern tracks on it. They are 12" wide, but I would like to move up to a 16" tread. Would I be able to put a 450 x 53 x 86 on it, or will they rub on the frame? Would anyone talk me out of the wider option? Thank you!!

from what I have read it will be harder on the undercarriage parts and will not turn as easily as it does with the stock sized tracks. So you will have to weigh out the costs and determine if it is worth it. I have no idea if there would be a frame conflict.

Thank you, Foton. Your reply was the final pin I needed... I'm going to put the same ones I had on it before. Thank you, again.
