Modifications needed for SW48?

I was given a bunch of used SW48 tracks. Unlike the tracks that I currently have, which are belting with cleats. The tracks that were given to me are the moulded rubber tracks. Before I start removing my old tracks, will I need to make any modifications to my machine? Thanks in advance

They should fit on without any mods, hopefully they streched enough that you do not have to remove the sprocket to get them to clear. make sure you get the grease adjuster all the forward. good luck
 
Thanks. I have to remove the 3 bogie wheels(for lack of a better name) from each side and do the bearings and replace 1 tire. I was hoping it would not be an issue. Are the tracks the same on the SW48's as they are for the sw4s pinoth. I was given 4 well used tracks and 6 bogie wheels that came off municipal SW48's during their fall PM service. I should have enough to last for years if I don't get stupid. They are replacing the Bombardiers with Pinoths. And within a year or 2 the SW48's will be gone. They have been replaced with the Pinoths so my used tracks will dry up, unless they fit.

The SW4S tracks should fit also made by a different vendor but should fit.
