Need Mitsubishi dozer help

tccox
My bud has a BD2F and the front idler rollers have worn so much they have too much lateral play. They (left & right) have been taken off and the idler hole is badly dished and the shaft is badly worn also. What are his options? Can this be fixed or must he buy replacements. We don't have much in the way of machine shops here so we must rely on word of mouth. Unfortunately, ain't too many Midtubishi dozers around here to get opinions on.

I have seen fixes for rear drivers with weld on parts but have no idea about the front idlers. I would appreciate any and all suggestions. New assemblies are pretty $$$$$$. Thanks, Tom

    Yes guys, I have been to most of the search engines. I am looking for first hand experience from the forum as how to fix his problem other than buying new. I have found a few places that handle used parts and may get lucky and find what he needs but I am also looking for someone who knows how to overhaul the parts he has. Yes, I have a few numbers to call tomorrow and maybe they can help also. Anyway, to all who replied, thanks much, Tom

    Cant help with the first hand experience with a BD2F.
    Have did a lot of work on CATS from a d3 up to D11's.

    All of the ones that I had repaired have just been replaced. For the are considered an expendable item. Never known of anyone attempting to repair an Idler for a dozer. For most have the bearings pressed in and then a cap/flange welded over top of it. The metal that is used to make up an idler is really quit thin when the weight that they carry is considered.
