OEM (Berco) undercarriage rollers and idlers versus aftermarket (Korean)

[clansing1]

I have found some Komatsu surplus idlers and bottom rollers and am trying to decide if it is worth the premium to go the OEM route. The OEM double flanged rollers are another $70/roller and the idlers are another $350. I can really notice the difference in the idlers and there are some differences in the rollers.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

The question has to come up about warranty. Because you are buying surplus OEM parts are you going to have any kind of warranty?
Are you saying Berco is OEM??? What machine???

Thanks for your reply.

I haven't but will ask about warranty.

The machine is a Dresser/IH TD-20G.

I believe that Berco is OEM and the aftermarket is Korean.

Berco is OEM for a few and some of the korean is OEM also. It depends what make of equipment. I am not sure about Dresser.
