350 front idler
350 front idler
My cousin has asked me to try to find some parts for his JD 350 crawler. The front idler is in bad shape, and it needs to be replaced. I don't know where to go for a used one or whatever. JD I guess no longer services this part. Can anyone give me some help?
Re: 350 front idler
You can buy the shaft, bearings and all the shims aftermarket of from deere. Or you can buy a complete from berco, I called today and they're about $750 each side complete w/ the arms.howdy1720 wrote:My cousin has asked me to try to find some parts for his JD 350 crawler.

Thanks! I will check this out. The only problem that I see with it all is that he does not want to spend a lot of money, but I guess he will have to make that decision.
It is possible to find a boneyard 350 crawler with a halfway decent front idler- although I would venture to guess that it would still be at least a third to one half the price of a new aftermarket one.
Like the previous post says, the undercarriage generally wears as a set so all you would be doing is prolonging the inevitable destruction of the entire undercarriage unless the other components had been recently replaced.
Since the front idler is a heavy part, it would be helpful to know your location to recommend a local boneyard.

I am located in central Ohio. I have heard that there are places that may have some used parts, but I agree with all the previous comments in that there is probably more to be fixed than just the front idler. Thanks!
There is a fairly large salvage operator in Camden, Ohio that has older crawler parts- Roberts Farm Equipment:

You may want to try them.

I replaced front idler on a 450 last month. I got after marked roller complet 750$. Evey thing was shot because the track adjuster broke out where it was welded I fixed that to.
Ed in N y was going to ship me a used Idle but for 750$ new after market we went that way.
