FYI: HEADS UP ON ROLLER/IDLER SEALS
FYI: HEADS UP ON ROLLER/IDLER SEALS
Just a heads up for everyone about the bottom roller, front idler seals for 40-1010 except front idler on 440/1010.
If any of you have priced the seals for these, you know they are ungodly pricey, to the tune of $46/each and up. Well lo and behold, there has been a price reduction, a MAJOR one. I spent a couple hours on the phone today trying to get to the bottom of this, but it looks like the new price on these seals is going to be $15 or less depending on your dealer. I have some on order, and should know tomorrow if it is true. My fear is that they have subsitituted a part that will not even remotely work, so at this point I am not really believing it. I have a couple of NOS seals to compare them to when they get here, so we'll see.
I will keep you informed of what I find, but if this is true, you better get some before they go back up, I just can not see this lasting.
Cross your fingers,
Lavoy

Hey lavoy ,
I have been watching the jd parts web site and in the last week the prices have dropped on the seals and bushings for the front idlers for a 440
I ordered 2 new front Idlers just to see what would happen , they called me today and said all the parts are in !
I will be suprised if this works out

OTC track press
Hi Lavoy,
I got a copy of the current OTC catalog.
I wanted to look for the OTC Track Master 60 ton track press you
mentioned owning in one of your previous posts I can't seem to locate
it in the catalog. Any info woulb be most appreciated.
Also I'm guessing that the front idlers require 2 seals 1 inner and 1 outer?
I'd like to procure the required number of seals to rebuild/re-bush both
left and right idlers. Please Advise.
Have you ever attempted to rebuild the Track Rollers?
See You at the 2 cylinder show for those grousers.
Thanks and Take Care!

JD 420C Idler Seals
Good Morning Lavoy,
Just a note to inquire regarding the Idler seals for the 420C.
Did the replacement seals show up as yet?
I'll take 4 if possible.
