The Caterpillar 136-2422 Idler Assembly (Front Idler) is a genuine OEM-specification undercarriage component designed for Caterpillar 336 and 340D2 L excavators. This idler is a critical component that guides the track chain and maintains proper track tension at the front of the undercarriage.
These excavators are used in construction, mining, quarrying, and demolition applications. The idler features a precision-machined tread surface with induction hardening for maximum wear resistance. Advanced floating seals prevent contamination and retain lubrication, ensuring extended service life.
