[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 30816, member: 82"] If you have the chain case out, you may need new bearings on the really sloppy axles. Replace all 4 axle seals while you are in there and seal the inspection covers really well when you are done and re-filled the chain case. Ensure you mop it all out to get the sludge from the bottom. As for draining the oil, i always run the machine at idle and engage the aux hydraulics and drain it from the front couplers. When it starts to spit and growl, shut down and re-fill with oil, new filter, drive it around lift and tilt to get the new oil around. Repeat until the oil is a good colour. This will involve you removing a little oil and letting it sit. There will be air in the system so it will appear white, but its only air. Let it sit and check the colour. Ensure you get all the end play out of the axles too. If you have access to a lathe, you remove a small amount from the inside of the washer that holds the sprockets on. Only remove from the part that touches the axle, not the sprocket. I measured how much end float i had, i then put them in the lathe and took the required amount off, worked a treat. [/QUOTE]
