64.25mm sounds good. That's after the 900mm(35inch) track pads scaled down? That's what I'm doing and added just a little more. The track pads I made are 66.00mm wide and 19.70mm long. After the 900mm pads for my 390.

Do you know the actual size of a 900mm width track pad for a 374? Length wise? Is it the same between 374 and 390?

Thanks

I made mine wider, they are actually 80mm wide. I don't like the look of an large excavator that has narrow tracks
But seriously, I might cut them shorter later.
I've seen pictures of 374 that has maybe over 1 meter wide pads

I don't know the exact lenght of the pad, but mine are 20mm long.

Everything is looking like it's coming together nicely. As far as the track width; It would depend on what the machine is going to be working on. Narrow tracks shorter frames for hard rock where no flotation is needed.

I Know the 385 ( which I'm building (2)) are 900mm (36")and 750mm (30") I'm making my shoes @ 64.25mm x about 19-20 mm .75" . I read somewhere that the 390 is just a renumbered 385 with a few added HP , etc
