[QUOTE="td63, post: 35579, member: 4043"] I would go back in take a look at the failed componats again to try and reach a logical reason as to what happened The rods are lubed off crossdrillings from a main bearing. How does the coresponding main look, damaged from lack of oil or ok. How do the remaining rod bearings look damaged from the failure or ok.When the light came on the failure was the already occuring? Was the oil pump full of metal or clean. If the failure is all bearings than that would indicate that the operator possibly continuied to run the machine with low oil pressure as not all the bearings are going to fail at once. If it is only 1 or 2 that would indiacate possibly a failed bearing. Did they pull a oil sample to check for trace amounts of cooalnt or sodium as there could have been a componant putting small amounts of coolant in the oil but all the bearings should show signs. Excessive dirt or silicone, breakdown of viscosity an oil sample can be very useful and they should have pulled one. I would ask to have the bobcat or outside co Failure anyalisis performed. You are entitled to a reasonable explanation of what happaned and why if they cannot provide this I would be looking for outside help. almost always when provided the right info these people can determine the root cause of failure and the order in which things failed.
