Two-Bolt or Three-Bolt Front Idler: Which Does Your Komatsu PC200 Need?

Three-bolt and two-bolt front idlers for the Komatsu PC200 side by side

The Komatsu PC200 and PC200LC use two front idlers that look almost the same. You don't need to know your machine's series to order the right one. Count the bolt holes on the mounting brackets: two or three. That's the same question our parts team asks every customer, and we stock both idlers in the ITP brand and Berco.

The front idler sits at the front of each track frame. It guides the track chain and, with the track adjuster, keeps the track at the right tension. When it wears out, you need the right replacement the first time. An idler with the wrong bolt pattern won't mount, and a return costs you days of downtime. New to undercarriage parts?

The Two Idlers

Both idlers fit the PC200 family and do the same job. The difference is the mounting brackets on each side, where the idler bolts to the machine.

Three-bolt idler: KM3299/20Y-30-00640/641. Each mounting bracket has three bolt holes in a row.

How to Check Yours

  1. Look at the brackets on either side of your old idler.
  2. Count the bolt holes on one side. Three in a row is the three-bolt idler. One hole in each of two bracket pieces is the two-bolt idler.
  3. Can't get a clear look? Send us your model and serial number and we'll confirm it for you.

Signs Your Front Idler Is Worn

  • The tread surface or center flange is worn down or has flat spots
  • Oil is leaking from the seals at the shaft
  • The idler wobbles or has play when the track moves
  • The track keeps coming off or won't hold tension

If you see any of these, check the rest of the undercarriage too. A worn idler usually means the chain and rollers are close behind.
