Hello
I have a plain case 450 dozer serial number of 3048746, I am working on the right side of the dozer where I have a broken recoil spring, bad idler, track adjuster that won't hold grease. The parts that are currently on the machine has a 7 3/8 spacing on the track adjuster. the used idler I picked up is a 6 1/4 spacing, the brackets on the used idler are in fair shape. I found broken tractor site for parts and they have a serial number break before 3050800 for parts. I was planning on using the Top Roller Mounting Bracket from the machine i picked up with the used idler.It has a good top roller. I just wanted to make sure all the parts I use are compatible as I am not a heavy equipment guy, I will be replacing the recoil spring, the long bolt, and the nut plate. I was going to get the 6 1/4 track adjuster that was complete it runs 415.00. The chrome is pitted on the track adjuster rod. i am trying to save money as this is just a farm machine that I play around on. The last question can I reuse the old track adjuster, pitted rod, and just install new seals? or will it fail quickly?
Any advice and/or part location is greatly appreciated.
