I am familiar with Blair Products , have used the Larry Lugs to repair Cat Tracks with great results , have installed their alum. boogie rollers on a Cat , but didn't know they have idlers for Bobcat yet ------------I would be affraid that the alum. would wear out quickly on the wheel and turn the round wheel into a sprocket looking thing as this happens to the steel one frequently

Thanks for the reply. I should have told you I have a cat 287b. How well did the bogie wheels hold up on the cat you installed them on? Thanks KTM

There still on there , I think it is better than the rubber over the steel of the OEM , the rubber falls off in chunks and that makes the tracks loose , and if you run them too loose you can break off the lugs , the Larry Lug is a great thing for your machine if you ever break a drive lug off , when the track does finally wear out you can unbolt the lugs and save them for next time --------------I am not a fan of Cat tracked loaders , you see very few around here
