Ive got a D2 serial # 3j101 that has been modified at some point in its life with 23 inch solid front idlers.The idler bearing blocks are worn thru and I think are beyond repair. I tried the recent "sticky"parts house list with no luck. A local oldtimer told me not to put the 18 inch wheel on as I would need to shorten the track and tractor would tend to pitch forward.(it also has five rollers)he also said these idler are off a loader.anyone with any ideas? Thanks!

that larger solid front idlers were an a factory option. U series or J series option? As far as the 5 rollers verses 4 sounds like a later U series parts adapted to your tractor. Keep asking around as I know there are a couple of 5J's out there for parts. Someone has the stuff you need to fix it.

We have a 5J Loader that was originaly a T2 Trackson. I have seen quite a few of them I am sure the iders are big but I will have to measure them. They are spoked. I am sure it is stock, I think it is about a '46.
