Need new Tread Material (where feet go on tractor "floor")

[bigroccrek]

Hi all,
I have a 2002 New Holland TC29 and the anti-skid material (where you feet go) is worn out. I went to the most local New Holland dealer (about 60 miles away) only to discover they have gone out of business (I was going that way anyway). I have looked on line for replacement material hopefully cut to fit since the old stuff is trashed, no luck. Any ideas where I might find this tread material? I have searched on-line but no luck.
Thanks.

If your tractor isn't a show tractor, maybe cutting up something like this and gluing it together might be a inexpensive, easy and effective solution: Anti-Fatigue Foam Mat Set, 4 Pack. I have used this matting for quite a few things beyond it's intention.

Thanks! Not a show tractor. I was really looking for something anti-skid like it came with, just a thin material that I can put on with adhesive. Thanks again!

Thanks. I did look at the material at Lowes and HD but it only comes in a 4" strip. If I could find a 4 foot by 4 foot piece I can cut to fit but so far no luck. Really don't wnat to piece it together using 4" strips.....but if I have to I suppose I will. Gotta believe somewhere out there is a sheet of material.

OK, you said you wanted something thin, but...
I bought horse stall padding at Tractor supply. Comes in 4 X 4 ft square.
It is HEAVY duty (use for horses) but sounds like it may work.
Good Luck!

I cut up a 4' x 5' non-slip entrance rug. It is thin carpet on top and rubber on the back.

Padding and rubber will trap moisture and make a rust spot

I used 80 grit adhesive stair tread material on my cub cadet 10 years ago and it has held up fine.

Similar to this 12"x10' you would need 4 strips, but this might not be bad as some areas wear more than others. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0714MVK3...ondition=New&tag=pixmatrix22235-20&th=1&psc=1

Every 2 or 3 years I paint the floorboards and other stepping surfaces with Rust Oleum paint, then put some dry sand in a large salt shaker and sprinkle generously on the wet paint. When it's dry, brush off the excess. Been doing this for years on both tractors and the mini-excavator......Dan.

Wonder how bedliner would work?

Skateboard tape is very grippy.

Grip tape looses its grip fast when dirty

You would have to replace it often. Source; I skate everyday and have a half pipe in my barn

When I was at the pilot school in the 90's, we used a product called "wing walk". It came in different sized sheets and also in a quart can to brush on. Check with McMaster-Carr.

MIl STD flight deck non stick is some bad stuff. Its expensive but grippy and last. We use to coat our HH-60g cabin floors with it

THanks for teh link. THis looks like it would work fine and at 12" wide wouldn't leave too many seams! Thanks!!!
