Questions about this rear idler
Practical guidance for CAT 289C Rear Idler. Use the specifications above for the recorded dimensions and references.
What signs should I investigate before replacing this rear idler?
Check for uneven surface wear, bearing play, leakage or damage that affects smooth rotation. Inspect the track path and adjoining rollers as well. Diagnose the source of abnormal wear before installing the replacement.
Do the OEM references mean this is a genuine machine-manufacturer part?
IPX supplies aftermarket replacement parts. OEM references identify the replacement applications.
Can front and rear idlers be swapped?
Front and rear idlers are listed separately by machine and position. Choose the rear-idler listing for a rear replacement.
Must both rear idlers be replaced at the same time?
Inspect both sides, but do not assume that the other idler is either serviceable or due for replacement. Use the manufacturer’s wear limits and the condition of the bearings, surfaces and track alignment to decide what requires attention.
What should I check when the replacement arrives?
Check the delivery for transit damage and keep the packaging until installation. Contact IPX if you need help with your order.
