Rear Idler

Engineered for Reliable OEM-Grade Fitment: Built to match OEM specifications, ensuring a direct, hassle-free installation with proper alignment and performance.

Strong, Heat-Treated Steel Build: Constructed from forged or cast high-strength steel and heat-treated for hardened tooth surfaces and a tough core, delivering exceptional durability in demanding conditions.

Stable, Accurate Track Guiding: Double-flange design keeps the track centered on the frame, helping prevent rear de-tracking, uneven wear, and unnecessary strain on the undercarriage.

Supports Proper Track Tension: Works in conjunction with the tensioning system to maintain the correct sag; worn rear idlers often cause slack even when the adjuster is fully extended.

Restores Lost Tension: Replacing a worn idler can bring back significant tension adjustment—what may seem like a stretched track is often simply an idler that has worn down over time.

Enhanced Track Life & Machine Stability: Designed to maintain minimum winding angle and distribute pressure evenly across the track, helping extend track longevity and improve machine balance.

Protected Internal Components: Equipped with durable bearings and double-lip seals that keep lubrication in and block dirt, debris, and moisture for long-lasting performance.

Impact-Resistant Design: Absorbs shock loads at the rear of the track frame, reducing stress on other undercarriage components.

Ideal for Preventive Maintenance: If your track frequently slips off the rear or tension cannot be maintained, the rear idler is often the culprit—replacing worn components together ensures the best undercarriage lifespan.

High-Value Replacement Option: Provides premium, OEM-equivalent quality at competitive Skid Tracks Depot pricing, offering a cost-effective way to extend undercarriage life.
