We were not able to drive the king pin out so he advised to burn it out got the track split and removed the idler. It is in bad shape the shaft had some very deep gouge marks and the seal were totally gone. I am in the process of ordering a new idler and will be needing a new king pin which I hope can be found. I paid $5000. for the BD2G and $650. for a new idler. I hope I am still ahead the rest of the tractor in in pretty good shape runs good. Thanks for the help. Jack [Reply]  [No Email]
