This guide covers Caterpillar D6M-LGP machines with serial prefixes 2RN, 4GS, 4JN, and 5NR converting from SystemOne to conventional undercarriage.
What is a SystemOne to conventional conversion for the CAT D6M-LGP?
A SystemOne to conventional conversion replaces the sealed, lubricated SystemOne undercarriage with a standard conventional track setup. This conversion requires replacing all mating undercarriage components simultaneously, including the track chain, track shoes, lower rollers, top carrier rollers, idlers, sprocket segments, and recoil springs. Partial replacement is not recommended as SystemOne and conventional components are not interchangeable.
What is included in a complete CAT D6M-LGP SystemOne to conventional conversion?
A complete CAT D6M-LGP SystemOne to conventional conversion requires 2 conventional track chains, 90 track shoes per side, lower rollers (quantity varies by position), 2 top carrier rollers per side, 2 idler assemblies, 2 sprocket segment groups, and 2 recoil springs. All components must be replaced at the same time since SystemOne and conventional parts are not interchangeable.
What track shoe options are available for the CAT D6M-LGP conventional conversion?
After converting your D6M-LGP from SystemOne to conventional track, shoes are available in Single Grouser widths of 24", 28", 30", and 34". A 34" mud hole (W/MH) variant is also available. The right choice depends on your ground conditions and application requirements.
Can I replace only part of the SystemOne undercarriage on my CAT D6M-LGP?
No. SystemOne and conventional undercarriage components are not interchangeable. A full conversion requires replacing all mating components simultaneously — track chain, shoes, rollers, idlers, and sprocket segments. Attempting a partial replacement will result in incompatible components and accelerated wear.
What are the track specifications for the CAT D6M-LGP after a conventional conversion?
After converting your CAT D6M-LGP to conventional track, the specifications are: Pitch 7.50", Bolt Diameter 3/4", Link Height 119mm, and Bushing Outside Diameter (O.D.) 65.0mm. These are the same specifications as D6M-LGP machines that originally shipped with conventional track.
Are track bolts and nuts included with CAT D6M-LGP conventional conversion track shoes?
Track hardware is typically sold separately. When installing track shoes as part of a D6M-LGP SystemOne to conventional conversion, you will need the appropriate track bolts and nuts for your chosen shoe width. It is recommended to use new hardware throughout the conversion.
