The John Deere 35G is listed with one track size, 300 x 52.5 x 86N: 300 mm (11.8 in) wide, with a 52.5 mm pitch and 86 links. This guide covers how to confirm the fit, the signs of wear and the 35G sprockets, idlers, bottom rollers and top rollers to check.
Looking for John Deere 35G tracks? Our catalog lists the John Deere 35G with one track size. This guide gives the John Deere 35G track size, how to confirm the fit, the signs that tracks are worn and the 35G sprockets, idlers and rollers worth checking while the tracks are off.
The short answer
Our catalog lists one track size for the John Deere 35G. There is one listed variant, so the size below is the one to check against your machine.
| Track size | Width | Pitch | Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 x 52.5 x 86N | 300 mm (11.8 in) | 52.5 mm | 86 |

Read the size as width x pitch x links. A 300 x 52.5 x 86N track is 300 mm wide, has 52.5 mm between link centers and has 86 links.
If the size is still readable on your old track, use it. If it has worn away, take three measurements:
Width
Measure across the track from edge to edge. A John Deere 35G track should measure 300 mm (11.8 in).
Pitch
Measure from the center of one link to the center of the next. The 35G track has a 52.5 mm pitch.
Links
Count the drive lugs around the inside of the track. The 35G track has 86.
If your numbers match the table, you have the right track. Our guide to measuring rubber tracks shows each step with diagrams.
Confirm the model
Check the model plate on the machine. If it shows a different model, order for that model, or contact us with the machine details and serial number and we will check.
Match the size
Compare the size on the old track, or your measurements, with the table above. If the width is not 300 mm, the pitch is not 52.5 mm or the link count is not 86, stop and check before you order.
Check the tread
Our catalog lists one variant for the 35G, and the listing does not name a tread pattern. If you want a particular tread, send us a photo of your current track and we will confirm what we can supply.
Look underneath first
Before the new tracks go on, inspect the sprockets, idlers and rollers. New tracks on a worn undercarriage wear out sooner.
Our advice
A size that is checked, not guessed, is the quickest way back to work. If anything does not match, talk to the team before you order, so you maximize machine uptime and avoid a return.
We recommend these checks on any tracked machine.
If the track keeps going slack after you adjust it, do not assume the track is the cause. A track adjuster with failed piston seals cannot hold tension, and worn sprockets can add to the problem. Here is how to check rubber track tension. The correct tension figure for the 35G is in your machine’s operator’s manual.
When sprocket teeth wear sharp, they stop holding the track cleanly. The track can slip or jump through the sprocket, and the shock load travels into the final drive. If you see or hear this happen, stop and inspect the sprockets before you carry on.
If a set of tracks wears out well before the last set did, look at the parts underneath before you fit new ones. Material packing between sprocket teeth, rollers and the track also speeds up wear, so keep the undercarriage clean. Our guide to spotting a worn sprocket shows what to look for, and these five tips to extend rubber track life cover other common causes.
Spinning the tracks, unnecessary reversing, high travel speed when it is not needed and always turning in the same direction all add wear. They wear the tracks and the sprockets that drive them.
With the tracks off, the whole undercarriage is in plain view. That makes a track change the best time to inspect it. Here is what our catalog lists for the 35G:
| Part | Per machine | Weight each |
|---|---|---|
| Drive sprocket | 2 | 12.5 kg (27.6 lb) |
| Idler | Not listed (182 mm side arm) | 27.5 kg (60.6 lb) |
| Bottom roller | 8 | 5.8 kg (12.8 lb) |
| Top roller | 2 | 2.3 kg (5.1 lb) |

The sprocket bolts to the final drive and its teeth engage the track to drive the machine. Our catalog lists 2 35G drive sprockets per machine. Sprocket wear is hard to judge by eye, so compare yours with an unused sprocket of the same type. Wear builds faster in reverse and at higher travel speeds.
Idlers guide the track around the ends of the track frame and work with the track adjuster to hold tension. Our catalog lists the 35G idler with a 182 mm side arm. Check for worn running surfaces, damaged flanges and oil leaks. With an idler off, it is also the easiest time to check or replace the track adjuster.
Bottom rollers run along the underside of the track frame and carry the machine’s weight on the track. Our catalog lists 8 35G bottom rollers per machine. Look for flat spots, worn flanges, oil leaks and rollers that no longer turn. We advise changing bottom rollers as a set, because a single new roller sits proud of the worn ones and wears faster.
Top rollers, also called carrier rollers, support the top run of the track. Our catalog lists 2 35G top rollers per machine. Check that each one turns freely and is not leaking oil. Our guide to bottom rollers and carrier rollers explains the difference.
Our advice
If the sprockets, idlers or rollers show wear, replace them with the tracks. It is one job and one round of downtime, and the new tracks start on a sound undercarriage.
These are the 35G parts in our catalog. All five are on the John Deere 35G parts page.

Our catalog lists the John Deere 35G track in one width, 300 mm (11.8 in). If the track on your machine measures a different width, talk to our team before you order.
It is the track size, written width x pitch x number of links. The track is 300 mm wide, has a 52.5 mm pitch and has 86 links.
Yes. We sell John Deere 35G rubber tracks individually, and the price shown is for one track.
Our catalog lists 8 bottom rollers and 2 top rollers per machine for the John Deere 35G.
Our catalog lists 2 drive sprockets per machine for the John Deere 35G. Check both when you change the tracks.
Common signs are a track that will not hold tension, a track that slips or jumps on the sprocket, and tracks that wear out much faster than the last set. Check the sprockets, idlers, rollers and track adjuster at the same time, because worn parts underneath shorten the life of new tracks.
