[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 4424, member: 307"] Actually my 853 c does not have a spring (it does not self tension) but it uses 2 tapered cone and cup bearing and is filled with 15/50 synthetic motor oil instead of grease. So you won't have the problem I had,(with the bushing) unless yours happens to be update to the spring loaded tightener. The fellow I had got my 93 753 from said it came factory with a fixed tightener, but he later updated it to a spring one, so I not sure what happened to the first. I'm going to check the side play of the idler. It should be .005 to .013” and the oil level, also a vary precise quantity .50” deep using the dust cap as a bowl to measure the oil. Exactly 20 cc. The spring loaded tighteners have a 4 “ or so diameter flat wound spring clearly visable behind the idler wheel. And a curved slot in the back side of the bracket. Ken [/QUOTE]
