sure thing Doug;

sprocket $5.85 each
idler $6.65 each

guide tooth $0.28 each (I need 150)
track link $0.18 each (need 300)
track lug $0.25 each (need 300)

so all of that was $221

these are expensive tracks, the rubber was $80 for strips of 20mm x
12mm x 1 meter (8 strips)

plus high-tensile cap screws are not cheap.
