Stud Info please

After finishing up the oil pan issue and getting the tracks back on, I noticed several broken studs on one drive sprocket. Any isights as to specifically what size these are? I'll be replacing one side (at least) which is eight total.
1202B with 200 CID motor, OC12 rear diff. I checked the manual for sizing but it just shows the axle / flange. The nuts are separate though.
Not sure how these are measured.
Any insight would be great!
Thanks,

I think they’re a fine thread 1/2”, like what you’d find on an older 3/4 ton truck. Oreilly’s should have them. My wide track imp runs an 8 lug pattern with 1/2” press in lug studs.
 
Thanks Idaho. I'll take one of the lug nuts with me. I have replaced these on one of our cars in the past and was able to pound out the broken stud and pull the new one in with the nut. Hope that is the case here as well as I don't want to mess with the tracks again.

Dorman has a pretty good website if you possess the calm amount of sticktooitiness necessary to set the filter for the stud you need.
 
I went to town the other day in search of the lug studs and nuts. I'm going to replace all on the one side and have two spares. After two hours of searching for something that matches, I gave up and returned home. Kinda frustrating when they ask the standard question? Year make and model.....
Two of the shops actually grabbed the book! I found one that was close but a bit longer. Longer would not be an issue as I'll be replacing all of them. When I got home, I made a call to Sprite improvement and Nancy was a great help! She offered me the doorman number for the studs. Anyway, I ordered them from her. Figured if the local shops can't help, why go back and support them when she has them in stock.
Three of the holes in the sprocket rim are slightly out of round. I'm hoping with the remaining good one will keep thing in alignment. If not, I'll be looking for fixes on that. A friend said they have drilled the holes out and inserted tubing?

Just make certain you get the right stud for your snowcat. If you don't you might get something like this a few months from now.
