Looking For Track Idler

[Scott McFadden]

We have a 1650M WT Case Dozer. We have needed a new track idler since November 2022. The dealership just told us a new idler will be another 6 months away again. We have tried every aftermarket option we know of and nobody has a supplier with this idler.

If anyone has any leads on new/used/rebuilt track idlers for these dozers please let me know!

Thank you.

Have you tried independent track shops or a Berco dealer? They can be more competitive on pricing and service. Komatsu used to have a affiliation with Berco which has ceased and now manufacture there own track gear based on Berco parts with huge improvements in quality.

Tried Berco dealers and a Komatsu connection with no luck

What's wrong with the idler? I had a machine shop bore and sleeve one of mine. He put a pin between the sleeve and idler to keep the sleeve from turning.

Might be a good option for this one. The surface where the chain rides is worn and destroyed a fairly new chain though.

Takes a long time but those idlers can be built up, and machined back to size. This may be a candidate for the option.

 

[Tones]

An easy way of building up a roller or idler is to use flat bar of the appropriate grade metal,width and thickness, get it rolled to the circumference of the worn idler and weld it on.

 

[Welder Dave]

If idlers are built up with weld don't require machining. It used to be very common. The condition of the axle and bearings is a bigger issue.
