[QUOTE="OldMachinist, post: 42501, member: 437"] I just wanted to post this because its something you should watch out for. I run into this problem on a lot of my equipment because of the places I use them. Vines, tall grass, twine and wire get wrapped around hubs and spindles. It will eventually work its way into the seal area and ruin it. It happens on wheel hubs, mower spindles and even sometimes pulleys on engines. [IMG width="620px" height="465px"]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg49/calfranch/Bobcat/DSCF1090.jpg?t=1302537329[/IMG] [IMG width="620px" height="465px"]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg49/calfranch/Bobcat/DSCF1089.jpg?t=1302537742[/IMG] I once had a piece of 5/8” steel rod wrap around the axle housing while clearing a old fence line. [IMG width="620px" height="465px"]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg49/calfranch/Bobcat/DSCF1091.jpg?t=1302538084[/IMG] I had to take a generator and 4” grinder out in the field to cut it off. I have a large pile of stuff I call brush hog art of all the things that have gotten wrapped around the spindles of mowers. [IMG width="620px" height="465px"]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg49/calfranch/Bobcat/DSCF1092.jpg?t=1302538202[/IMG] Also I have problems mud dabber wasps building nests around the pulley shafts of equipment thats sits unused for a while. When you start it up the dirt will eat seals out of power steering and water pumps. Like I said just something for you to keep a eye on. [/QUOTE]
