Replacement rubber tracks for the JCB 8052 mini excavator in 400x72.5Wx74 — 400 mm wide, 72.5 mm pitch, 74 links. Built for digging, trenching, backfill and tight-quarters work, with free freight to the lower 48.
What the numbers mean on a JCB 8052
- 400x72.5Wx74 — 400 mm tread width (about 16"), 72.5 mm pitch, 74 links, wide guide lugs
Width is the tread face, pitch is the distance between drive lugs, and links is the count around the loop. All three have to match — a track one link off will not tension correctly no matter how close the width is.

Undercarriage parts for the JCB 8052
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:
- Bottom roller — TRMU5178
- Carrier roller — RD411-22900
How these wear
Excavator undercarriages load one side hard on slew and travel, so link cracking usually shows up before the tread wears out. 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.
