What Goes Into a DuraTrack Dozer Idler

The idler guides the track chain and holds it at the correct tension, under push, rip and turn loads. Material, sealing and fit decide how long that lasts.

FeatureWhat it does
Complete cast assemblySupplied as one cast idler assembly, ready to fit.
Heavy-duty seal groupEvery DuraTrack dozer idler comes with a heavy-duty seal group as standard.
Shaft and brackets includedThe shaft and brackets come with the idler, so the assembly goes on as one part.
Guides the chain, holds the tensionThe idler guides the track chain and, extended by grease pressure in the recoil cylinder, keeps the track at the correct tension.
Matched by model, position and sizeWhere a model takes more than one idler, each listing names it by position, wheel diameter or bolt spacing.

Scroll the table sideways to see every column.

Every idler is matched to the make, model and serial number against our product reference guide. Parts are not interchangeable between models, or often between serial number ranges of the same model.

Idler or roller?
The idler guides the track chain and keeps the track at the correct tension. Top rollers carry the upper run of the track over the frame, and bottom rollers carry the machine weight along the underside. All three are listed by make and model, and a full kit includes them all.
What do I need to identify my idlers?
Machine make, model and serial number; whether you need the front or rear idler; the number of links in the track chain; the track shoe width in millimetres; any markings on the old idler; and whether the machine is on a standard undercarriage or a proprietary system such as Cat SystemOne or Komatsu PLUS. The idler is confirmed against the product reference guide before we quote.
Does the idler come with the shaft and brackets?
Yes. DuraTrack dozer idlers are supplied as complete cast assemblies with heavy-duty seal groups, shafts and brackets.

When Do Dozer Idlers Need Replacing?

Idler wear is measured against new dimensions, in the same way as the rollers and chain. Check the idlers whenever the undercarriage is measured, because the parts wear together.

  • Wear on the idler tread and flanges where the chain runs
  • Material packing in the undercarriage, which stops the chain running true and speeds up wear
  • Track shoes wider than the job needs, which increase idler tread and flange wear
  • Wear on the chain and rollers, which wear with the idlers

Use the narrowest shoe that still gives adequate flotation, and keep the track correctly tensioned.

On dozer undercarriage a full kit adds the idlers, carrier rollers and bottom rollers to the track groups and sprocket segments, so the whole undercarriage wears from the same starting point.

Dozer Idler Questions, Answered

What is a dozer idler?
An idler guides the track chain on a crawler dozer and keeps the track at the correct tension, extended by grease pressure in the recoil cylinder. DuraTrack dozer idlers are complete cast assemblies with heavy-duty seal groups, shafts and brackets.
Which dozer makes and models do you cover?
DuraTrack idlers are listed for more than 350 crawler dozer and track loader models, including CAT D1 to D10 and the 931 to 983B track loaders, John Deere 450, 550, 650, 700 and 850, Case 455C to 1155E, Komatsu D31 to D155 and Liebherr PR734 to PR751, with Hyundai, Shantui, Daewoo, Hitachi and New Holland covered too. Send the make, model and serial number and we confirm the correct idler against our product reference guide.
Does my machine take more than one idler?
Some models take more than one idler. Where they do, each listing names it by position, wheel diameter or bolt spacing. The machine model and serial number tell us which your undercarriage takes.
How do I know when idlers are worn?
Idler wear is measured against new dimensions, on the tread and flanges where the chain runs. Measure the idlers whenever the chain and rollers are measured, because the parts wear together.
Should I change the idlers with the rest of the undercarriage?
A full dozer kit adds the idlers, carrier rollers and bottom rollers to the track groups and sprocket segments, so the whole undercarriage wears from the same starting point. Where only one part is at its limit, it can be replaced on its own.
What warranty comes with dozer idlers?
DuraTrack dozer idlers carry a 3 year, 3,000 hour warranty, whichever comes first, matching the OEM warranty period. It is a direct replacement warranty, not a pro rata assurance.
How quickly can you deliver dozer idlers?
Stocked idlers are held across eight stocking locations.
