Lower roller workaround

perryskorp · 2024-08-06 12:05

OK, let’s try this question another way. If I can’t find any rollers for my Kobelco K909 machine and the bushings are shot on a lower roller, what’s a realistic workaround? Just leave as is? Pull the shaft and have a shop make new bushings (don’t know how I’d hold the oil in)? Modify some other roller so it works on my machine? Something I haven’t thought of? Gotta be some creative way to McGyver this thing.

    What is it you're looking for ? Do you have the part number ? Joe H

    Part number is 24100J6186F1. Actually, I see a dismantled machine online in Utah but they haven't gotten back to me.

    Ampco 18 or similar material for the bushing would be my goto.
