The earlier 1100 tractors, what few were sold, had a handbrake designed for them, but the following 1135 and 55’s didn’t !

Not sure if it’s of interest, but there is a Lite track for sale up this way. It did have a spreader body on it, but just a bare chassis and cab now. On Michelin 710’s.
John Deere did exactly this. They used to put on the barrels of +50 II that this product met the JD specific requirements of JDQ 78X.
They claimed this product could do 750 hrs between drain intervals, anything not meeting JDQ 78X would only do 500 hrs.
