Have no drive on left side where do I begin I know the pump costs more then my yearly retirement benefit, if I need parts are there any reasonable stores around. Thanks Jim

Thank you for the information, this just might be the ticket as I cannot comprehend why this axle is leaking fluid like a faucet that has been opened. The manual tells me the seal is to be 1/4" inch in. Only thing I can figure is I put the seal on backwards (lip out) or the axle is worn that much.

That is what I am looking for, called my local dealer to see if he can find the dimension of the seal surface as Bobcat lists no handi-sleeves for the 721. If I can get the measurement of the circumference then I can check with national. I do not like the thought of having to do it again...

HELP! I am at wits end with this machine, bought it used a few months back and it needed new bearings which were replaced along with the races and seals. Pulled it out of the shop and darn the right front leaks as if there is no seal in it and same goes for the left rear but not as bad, anyways...

Hey AF, My hydraulics are stored in the two side tanks (chain case) and the fuel tank is plastic which is under the main pump. I just screwed up and in my rush I thought I could get by with silicone as a gasket (NOT) to cheap to go buy some cork/rubber gasket material. I am going to pull the...

721 cat, put new axle bearings and seals in re-installed the Duetz and hyd fluid while hooking up fuel pump there was a river forming underneath darn rear hubcaps? leaking and on left rear outer axle seal leaking what a pain lost about 3 gal of fluid so not to bad hope to take it apart on Sunday...

The nut has a bolt that goes through it

What do you mean cranked the bearing, I am confused as my bearings are pressed on and the only nut is on the sprocket side of the axle.

To get the proper tension on the axle bearing or at least I think I have the proper tension I pushed the inner bearing down to tight and when it got stiff to turn I then blocked the entire axle housing up and tapped the axle back to get it to spin easy. There must be a system to doing it proper...

When installing the inner bearing is there a certain measurement the bearing should be above the flange as I might have it to tight. Thanks for the help Jim

I have not taken the races out yet, will probably do it Wed, got to find my big (long) punch although I could grind or saw them out but will try the punch first.

Yup, it seems to show the bullheadedness in some of us as we know it would be a lot easier on our brains just to take it in pay for it (Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr gritting teeth) and get it done, BUT and that is a big word I am just going to buy a press (needed one anyway) do it my self and still...

I have not removed the races yet, I have been calling around to get prices on this from a few implement dealers and Tri-State Bobcat, all want an hourly price of $100.00 and from what I gather an hour per axle to remove the bearings and race and install. So I did the next thing and bought a 12T...

Right side axle housings and axles are removed and will drop them off in the morning to have the outer bearing pressed on, where I am having a hard time reading and understanding my manual is how do I get the axle seal into the housing (lot C and later). This is really a leaning experience. The...

Hi, I removed the right front axle once I was able to split the chain and pull it out of the side case (what a job) Just removing the tension-er was a herculean feat next I removed the inside cover to get access to the axle nut and there I got held up until I received some help to remove the...
