Cat 259 Rubber Tracks & Parts

The CAT 259 is cataloged in more than one track width — 320 / 400 mm. Pick the width your undercarriage is actually set up for, then choose tread for the ground you work. Free freight to the lower 48 on every track, 24-month warranty.

Which width fits your CAT 259

  • 400x86x53 — 400 mm (16") wide, 86 mm pitch, 53 links
  • 320x86x53 — 320 mm (13") wide, 86 mm pitch, 53 links

These are not interchangeable by preference — the width your machine takes is set by the roller frame and sprocket it left the factory with. Wider tread floats better on soft ground and spreads ground pressure; narrower runs cheaper, turns easier and clears tight spots. Measure the existing track across the tread face before you order.

Tread choice for the CAT 259

Size gets the track on the machine; tread decides how it works and how long it lasts. What we stock for this one:

  • Staggered Block — mixed dirt and gravel. Block stability with better cleanout than a straight block
  • C-Block — concrete, asphalt and hard-packed ground. Longest wear life and the least vibration on hard surfaces
  • Multi-Bar — mud, snow and soft ground. Deep bar lugs bite and shed material instead of packing up
  • Zig-Zag — general mixed ground. Balanced traction with a smoother ride than a bar tread
  • All-Terrain — everything in between. A compromise tread when the machine moves between surfaces
  • X-Terrain — the worst ground you have. Aggressive lugs for mud, slope and loose fill

If the machine splits its time between surfaces, buy for the ground you are on most — a hard-surface tread on constant mud will spin, and a bar tread on concrete will wear out in half the hours.

Undercarriage parts for the CAT 259

Rollers, idlers and sprockets wear on the same clock as the track. Fitting new rubber over a hooked sprocket or a seized roller is the fastest way to lose the new track — check these while the tracks are off:

How these wear

CTLs run high ground speed and counter-rotate all day, which is what eats edge lugs and drive lugs first. Replace in pairs where you can: a new track running against a stretched one loads the drive unevenly and you will feel it in the steering.

Same track, other machines

Track size follows undercarriage geometry, not brand, so one of these sizes shows up on machines from several makers. If you run any of these alongside the CAT 259, it is the same belt:

Not sure which you are running? Read the size off the inside of the old track, or call (850) 816-7898 and we will pull it off the machine record. The Track Finder works by make and model too.

  • Continuous Steel Cords

    Jointless internal cable architecture eliminates structural weak points and maximizes overall tensile strength.

  • Drop-Forged Links

    Precision heat-treated guide lugs ensure exact sprocket engagement and prevent de-tracking under heavy side-loads.

  • Corrosion Resistant

    The internal steel framework is fully encapsulated to prevent oxidation, rust, and moisture penetration.

  • Reinforced Sidewalls

    Extra-thick vulcanized rubber and tapered edge profiles protect against curb slashing and lateral impacts from jobsite debris.

  • Low-Vibration Tread

    Optimized lug spacing and pitch geometry absorb shock, reducing undercarriage wear and minimizing cabin vibration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size rubber tracks fit a Cat 259?
The Cat 259 can use 320 x 86 x 53 or 400 x 86 x 53 rubber tracks. Match the full size on the track you are replacing before you order. If your machine has more than one track setup, choose the width and guide style that matches the track currently on the machine.
