Hi all . Havent posted here for a while so hi to all .
I am looking to buy a pair of front idler wheels for my pel job mini digger.
I looked online ( as you do these days ) and was surprised at how expensive they are.
However I did a bit more digging ( no pun intended) and came across a company called All excavators.com . They are selling them for a lot less than everyone else.
The price is low enough to make me think it could be a scam ?
Working on the principle of if it seems too good to be true it probably is ......
Has anyone else used this company and what are they like to deal with?
I have done a few checks and they accept PayPal but I'm still a little bit suspicious.
Anyone with any experience of them ?
Cheers Chris

Yes I am a bit suspicious. I haven't parted with any money yet and I'm not going to unless i find out its 100% genuine.

Yes Pete you are looking at 350 - 360 now and I need 2 that's why I was a bit tempted by a cheaper deal . I will have to shop around see what I can find.

Re: Pel job idler wheels
Well I'm glad I didn't jump in and buy 2 idler wheels because I took the tracks off today and found the idler wheel bearings to be in perfect condition. What I think is the tracks are just plain worn out and although they look OK they have stretched so much that the idler wheels are standing too far out away from the frame . This is allowing them to flop about and making it appear that it's the idler wheel bearings.
Thinking back it's an amazing 15 years since I last renewed the tracks so I think I got my money's worth!
