[QUOTE="Madbobcater743, post: 90129, member: 12972"] Hey guys. Here is an update. We got the bucket off with some oil and a metal bar. Success!!!! Well after I cleaned a good amount of grease and dirt around the rear drive sprockets I noticed I have a good oil leak. Also I'm getting a small grinding on my joysticks forward and reverse slightly. Feels like the bearings. Mostly on the right side. Still need to get the creep out of the machine. Does anyone know a good place to get bobcat linkage parts for a decent price?
