What is the bolt size, 3/8 or 1/2. Do you have the original tracks with rubber insert. You can purchase these new also. In Ontario CA you can call Bruce at Inland Tracked Equip, Etobicoke, in USA call NM-Outdoors.
Let me know which size and I will see what I have.
You can also use a steel plate every second guard.

I think they want to know what the bolt size is that holds them in place. A 3/8" bolt diameter or 1/2" diameter bolt...

Bait Guy... let me know what is the size of the bolts on your tracks... 3/8" or 1/2". On most SW48's they have steel crosslinks with rubber inserts. Thanks "the old trucker" yes, all we need to know is the bolt size, as most machines may have had the tracks changed! Look forward to seeing if we can help here.

See attachment; I think you want the part that look like a "P" tire guide #3, 9 or 15. I think you have the 1/2" bolts size, it is important to get this right as the head of the this bolt hold the bolt from turning when you tighten it. 3/8 will not work with the 1/2 and 1/2 will not work with the 3/8".
I am looking at it now and it seems to be #9. I tried to get a nut off with a various sizes of sockets with no avail. metric or sae dont work, seems they have been on too long and rusted very badly. The tire guides that will be replaced can be matched up either 3/8 or 1/2 because I have no metal holes to go through (although they could be drilled if necessary). My tracks are totally rubber with no metal except for the tire guides. I can only assume this must be a after market track. The rubber grousers are replaceable and I do have a source for them. My phone # is 507-213-1873 if you want to give me a call about prices.

Bait Guy is there any way you can post a couple of good clear pics of your track & the pieces you need ? They say a picture is worth a thousand words...
OT.

We did find some for him. Shipping Monday
