How thick should the "flange" be on the front idler on a John Deere 350 crawler? I know there is a measuring auage for this, but on mine the edges that the track runs along are less than 1/4" and there are chunks broken out. I think they may need to be replaced. How thick should those edges be?

I have new front idlers for a 2010 crawler. If Lavoy or someone else can confirm that the front idlers for a 2010 and 350 are similar, then I could measure mine and let you know.

Man it is tough to get old and forgetful. As soon as I read gauge, I remembered that I have an undercarriage gauge for 2010/350.
New appears to be just shy of 3/4", allowable wear is about 3/16".
As to 2010/350 front idlers, 350 is different, but the wear specs are the same, so the you could measure your NOS ones for an accurate height.

Hi Lavoy-
When measuring wear on the front idler flanges, is it mainly for flange height, flange thickness, or both? For thickness, is it from outer face to inner face?
