Grouser Bar Measuring Guide

'A' = Original Height 'B' = Worn Height 'C' = Width at Worn Height Step 1) Step 2) Start with original height (A) Subtract worn height from original height. (A-B) The difference is the height of the grouser bar needed.* Measure the width of the grouser at worn height (C). The measurement is approximately the width of the grouser bar needed (Slight differences are acceptable.)

Step 3)

* We recommend regrousering up to 110% of original height. There are many cases, however, where it can be effective to grouser higher than 110%. Consult with your account manager for help.

Determining Grouser Bar Length

The rst step in determining what length of grouser bar to buy is to measure the width of the worn shoe. The length of the bar will usually be the same as the width of the shoe.

Half Inch Bar Option Many companies chose to use grouser bar cut 1/2 inch short of the shoe width to reduce the ll weld required at the end of the bar. For instance, if you have a 22 track shoe, you would order a 21.5 bar length. A 1/2 bar option would be appropriate when applying grouser to a shoe that shows a rounded wear pattern at the edges of the original grouser.

Dura-Tuffs Grouser Bar, Part-Numbering System

The rst letter (E0922) designates the grade or hardness of the bar. G is for General Service (Rc 20), E is for Extreme Service (Rc 38-42), and S is for Super Extreme Service (Rc 45-53). The next two numbers (E0922) represent the size of the bar and the size of the tractor it ts. 09 is meant to t a D9 tractor (or equivelent) but may be used at customers will. This machine may require a completely different bar based on other factors like wear (see Measuring Guide on previous page for a precise guide to choosing the best grouser bar size for your machine). The last of the numbers (E0922) represent the length of the bar. In this example the number 22 means 22 inches long. You will nd the height and the width of each bar in the sizing chart we have included for your convenience. Also please note that a letter at the end of a part number (E0922C) means it is preformed grouser bar. C stands for curved bar and F means the bar is forged.

Grouser Bar Shape Guide

Straight Grouser Bar Dura-Tuff straight bar is used when the grouser on the shoe is worn evenly (as opposed to more wear on the ends of each shoe). Straight bars are easy to weld on and work well with automated welders or when shoes are trimmed straight.

Curved Grouser Bar

Curved bar can be used as a time and money saving regrouser option. The curved bar costs only marginally more than straight bar, but helps reduce job costs overall because very little trimming is required.

Forged Grouser Bar

The primary advantage for Forged Bar is the extra shoulder support it provides. Companies that benet most from using Forged Bar are those where bulldozers get severe wear on the edges of the bar due to excessive turning. The curve of the forged bar makes for easier bar replacement and the natural bevel on the ends of the bar prevents further wear by extending the life of the bar on machines where frequent turning is required. 4

Grouser Bars

Forged Bar

Dura-Tuff Forged Bar is to used to help customers keep labor costs down on regrousering. The forged bar eliminates the need to trim the shoe grouser to a straight edge before regrousering and forms to the wear of the shoe. The forged ends t down over the ends of a worn shoe to restore it most closely to original specs.

10 Foot Length Bars

Dura-Tuffs 10 foot lengths make it easy to inventory grouser bar, because they can be cut to size as needed. 10 foot bars are also occasionally welded onto scraper ights, rock crusher liners, grizzlies, grader edges and used for other applications for strength and exceptional wear.

Dura-Tuff can fulll requests for custom sizes and shapes. For example, beveled bar is available upon request.

Ice Lugs

Dura-Tuff ice lugs offer extra traction where conditions are snowy or icy. The 3-5 small pieces of bar are welded right on top of the grouser bar to add additional traction in severe conditions.

Regrousering Instructions
Precautions Proper Temperature > Cold metals should not be welded. Grouser bars and track shoes should be a uniform room temperature before welding. > Preheating can reduce cooling rates and residual stress required for weld deposit. Trimming grouser shoes provides preheat for the pad. Do not preheat grouser over 300 degrees. Preheating can also be achieved by rst running a 1/4 to 3/8 weld pass. This is called a heat pass where the weld will heat up both the grouser and the shoe. In cold welding conditions the heat pass should be closely followed by the ll or nal weld pass. Cracking can occur, if the current is too high, if the current travels too fast, if the voltage is too high, or if the grouser bar is welded on when it is too cold. In order to retain the hardness of the grouser bar it is recommended that an effort be made to keep the maximum temperature reached in welding as low as possible.

>

>

Clean Surface The track shoe must be clean and free from dirt and contaminates before any welding can take place. Rust and dirt can be a source of hydrogen and cause a weld to crack. Often the surface can be cleaned with a metal brush or metal conditioning disk. Weld Depth Use a full penetration weld to make get the maximum strength hold. Proper Electrode or Wire Welding Rod Proper Electrode is critical to the success and strength of the weld. Both the track shoes and the grouser bars are made of hardened materials which require appropriate weld strength. Consult your welding supplier for recommendations on welding hardened steel. The steel you will be welding is approximately a BHN of 443 to 543. Preparation Mechanized Welding (Shoes removed) Preparation Follow the directions given by the manufacturer. In the Field Welding (Shoes on Link Assembly) Preparation Most welding done in the eld is done manually with a stick welder. Usually, the grouser is not trimmed. During the eld fabrication, the worn grouser bar should be cleaned and a pre-formed bar should be welded to it. Welding Procedure Position grouser bar. Place new grouser bar vertically over worn surface. Be sure to tack each end of the grouser bar to hold it in position of the weld. You will want to bead each corner of the bar to help hold it in position and avoid distortion. The Weld To begin welding, place the bar in a horizontal position. Start the weld in the middle and move to the outside edge. Then go to the other edge and move towards the center. This will help to reduce the overall heating. Turn the bar over and repeat this process on the opposite side. Clean off the weld slag and nish the welding job. It may take several passes over the stringer beads. The weld should completely ll the groove between the grouser bar and the shoe, particularly near the ends. Be sure to ll all weld craters. Repeat this process on both sides of the bar. Sources:
