[QUOTE="cwhitten, post: 25662, member: 2717"] Tazza, Thanks for your help. I have the front axles/bearings out and everthing clean. I saved $10 per axle on the bearings. I went ahead and purchased the seals from my local Bobcat dealer. I will take pictures of the rear axle repair. Maybe I can help someone else out with some good pictures. Now, I have some other questions. 1.) When going downhill at full speed, I heard some chain slap. Could this be from side to side from axle end play? Sprocket wear? Should I put in a half link? How do I do this? How do I measure the chain slack? Can I do it without a chainbreaker? New chains are $125 and $115 each (front and rear). 2.) Since this machine has been run with low oil in the chaincase, I need to check the drive motor bearings. Right? How much end play is acceptable? Seals? The last thing that I want to happen is to refill the chaincase and have the motor shaft seals start pouring out oil. This is too much work to not do everything right the first time. 3.) What oil do you recomment to run in the chaincase. Bobcat oil is quite expensive (especially 9 gallons of it) I'm glad I decided to do this myself. It will be well worth it. Once I get everything back together, I will be wearing out the front plug checking the oil level almost everytime I use the machine. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
