Just sent you a PM. I wish to chat with you.
I've replaced three sets of tracks, and recently solved a tough track pin removal problem.
Agree, "Trackman" (Spokane) were very helpful folks.
Great job on the rebuild.

2 years ago I purchased a 1975 model 450c loader. What a amazing restoration job you have here! Beautiful work!

Thank you. The engine project quickly snowballed into a very expensive set of apologies to the wife for promising to keep it under 4 grand. I went way past double that.
I fired it up a couple months ago while everything was under snow and ice. I wanted to rotate a shipping container to reposition it. The preheated engine fired off before a complete rotation. It runs amazing. The container broke through the ice and is still sitting in the mud today. Gotta wait till August for solid ground to jack it up and throw a log under it. I just need two more feet.
I got on here because I need to replace that idler. I found the master pin but thought I would read up first. And maybe call Ralph.
I want to do a week or two of work on the property and I think I am going to sell it. 90% sure of that so far. The JD400 backhoe handles any snow issues the plow truck can't get done.
