MTD YARD MACHINES (SNOW THROWER) 26 INCH TRAC DRIVE MODEL:315E740F352 ENG: 8HP TECHUMSEH
The Rear Track Drive wheel is no longer available. (Part MTD631-0002)
I replaced 1 last year and should have ordered both. As soon as I replaced the broken one the other side started to show the same stress cracks .......!@#&%C$*&%C$
I looked around but to none are available and I really do not want to take a chance and have the thing break down right in the middle of a storm.
It really doesn't owe me anything and has given me quite a few years of solid service. When I contacted MTD in effort to find one they kind of just shrugged it off.

You should not have posted there and I should not have either. Way off topic to the thread.
I would be doing the googling you are doing in hope of finding someone with NOS on the shelf or ebay as mentioned. There are a number of guys selling used parts there and don't list everything.
The drawings for my 10hp track is below. My similar part is MTD 731-1538A and supposed to be available. Mine is held on with a jamb nut. The drawing for yours does not show what holds it on. Your idler uses, Hex Ins. Jam. I don’t know what that is but some sort of jamb think like on my machine. I would think the axle hole and diameter would be the same on both machines. Possibly you could modify one like mine for your machine. Mines a 1997, yours is 1995.
