    Frequently Asked Questions

    Fitment, availability, fulfillment, and support for this product

    What drive sprocket fits the Cat 279C?

    This drive sprocket is listed for the Cat 279C and matches OEM Part #304-1916. Before ordering, compare your machine make, model, serial number, and existing part number to confirm the correct undercarriage position and fitment.

    What bottom rollers fit the Cat 279C?

    Matching bottom roller or track roller options for the Cat 279C include <a href="/products/cat-279c-track-roller">CAT 279C Track Roller | Part #304-1890</a>. Replacing worn rollers before installing new rubber tracks helps keep the undercarriage aligned and reduces uneven wear across the track carcass.

    What front idler fits the Cat 279C?

    Matching front idler options for the Cat 279C include <a href="/products/cat-279c-front-idler">CAT 279C Front Idler | Part #304-1878</a>. Front idlers guide the track and help maintain proper tension, so inspect the flange, bearing condition, and wear surface before installing new tracks.

    What rear idler fits the Cat 279C?

    Matching rear idler options for the Cat 279C include <a href="/products/cat-279c-rear-idler">CAT 279C Rear Idler | Part #304-1894</a>. A worn rear idler can contribute to poor track alignment, derailment, and premature edge wear, especially after new rubber tracks are installed.

    What rubber tracks pair with this drive sprockets?

    Matching rubber track options connected to this Cat 279C undercarriage setup include <a href="/products/cat-279c-rubber-tracks">CAT 279C Rubber Tracks | 450x86x60 (Part #450X86BX60)</a>. If you are replacing this part, inspect the full undercarriage so the new component and rubber tracks wear evenly together.

    Should I inspect the full undercarriage before replacing this Cat 279C part?

    Yes. Sprockets, idlers, rollers, and rubber tracks wear together as a system. Before replacing this part for the Cat 279C, inspect the full undercarriage for uneven wear, bearing play, hooked sprocket teeth, and track tension issues.

    How do I confirm this product fits the Cat 279C?

    Confirm fitment by checking your machine make, model, serial number, and existing track size or OEM part number. For rubber tracks, verify width, pitch, and link count. For undercarriage parts, compare the part number, bolt pattern, tooth count, and machine position.
