Has anybody here repaired the center section of an idler? Wondering the best method is to fix these. If you have a decent one for sale, please let me know.

HD5 and HD6 use the same front idler - you can have them welded up by track shop of everything else is good - bearings - seals - axle shaft.

They use submerged arc welding while unit is in jig to get even weld on wheel

John Parks at General Gear is an excellent reasonably priced source for a lot of AC parts.
