Gleaner K idler bushings

retrofarmer · Aug 16, 2017

The idler pulley arm on my cylinder and main drive belt is wobbling and causing interference on other parts of the machine.
It looks like the bushings inside the pivot of the arm are worn but no bushings are shown in the parts manual. Any suggestions?

You can buy some time by using a puncture wound punch to create divots around the shaft, which in effect slightly increases its diameter. Or mike the shaft and have some bushings made.

I know I have replaced bushings in those idler arms, but maybe it was on a K2/F2? Possibly you could get bushings for the newer models, and have your parts machined to accept them?

We removed the entire idler arm and took it to our local welding/machine shop and had it rebored and bushed on our F2,seems like there was a triangular mounting bracket that got stamped out also
