On that machine. Parts can be found, the undercarriage is much tought to find parts for that machine. I understand that about 5 years ago. Either the Passini Group or Ital Tractor made the last run of chains for that machine. As for the bearings on that machine. They were sleeve bearings or they could be substituted for that. The idles themselve will be a bit tought to come by. One thing is the serial number of the machine. The value of a machine lies in the undercarriage. If the idlers are shot there may be other problems with the machine that you can not see. How well does it move. On a load there is on other component that adds into the value of the machine. The condition of the loader itself. Primarily on a Drott you are concerned about the loader linkaages they had a lot of pins. If they are badly worn it can get expensive to fix. Adittionally you will want to look veryclosey at the control stand for the hydraulices. If it is really loose or non-responseive you might have a valve problem. That is a very expensive valve to find, they can be rebuilt but will cost a bit. No new parts can be found. There is one individual in St Louis that has been able to work on those and did purchase a number of the Drott parts from Case when the got rid of the parts. Drott is my favorite machine. Hence my email address, Really like them. Great unit. A bit quirky till you get used to them other than that a fine machine.
