    Bobcat 853 noise when turning

    Final drive motor overhaul for Char-Lynn 114-1064-005

    Crazy, I destroyed one trying to get the inner face seal on. They were so tight I thought maybe I was sent the wrong seals. I had to boil it and install backwards to conform to the bore and let it sit for a bit. Then removed it and put it right side around. Both seals we almost at the point of...
