Yup! That is carrier track. They are a simple steel casting (?) forging (?) dry pin connected by dry pins. There is a limit on how much wear track links can safely tolerate. After that point, I believe they are considered unsafe to drive or at least untrustworthy.

Someone more knowledgible on carrier components will have to jump in on what parts are scarcer than others.

Beware, there are no vaccinations available for the ROT* disease. Rusty Old Trucks will give you nothing but grief!

Unfortunately I'm already infected with another serious disease, blacksmithing. Heat it and beat it !
But if there's someone serious about the hull/track I can have a chat with the scrapyard dealer to see if he'll set it aside.
You know you're a blacksmith when you have an account at the scrapyard.

I can already see a set of Dozer Tracks in the background (Top Right, first photo).
Some people have all the luck!

Yep, those tracks go with the base of the excavator that's underneath that pile. There's been some interesting stuff going through there in the past year or 2. On the vehicle side of things, an old 50's Canadian deuce and a CMP but it had already been crushed .

Eric , I spoke with the owner this morning (25 Jul) and he'll not crush the hull and track for now. You have until the 15th of August, so when you're down for the giant flea market, you'll need to make a beeline for Jr and talk it over with him.
Unfortunately one track had already been crushed earlier. So there's the hull and one track. I spoke with the guys in the yard and the unit had come in that condition so there were no other parts.
