Jack shaft bearing was completely destroyed on a skid steer that was given to me. This is an older machine with chain drives. Removed the strainer filter and secondary filter and found metal fragments. I am in the process of disconnecting some of the pressure land return lines. My thoughts are the use air to clean the lines out by going through the return lines. I figure that reversing the direction of flow would dislodge and remove the fragments. This along with vaccuming with a small shop vac to the lines I have open. I may also tye in a drill pump and flow some hydraulic fluid through the system. What's the thought in this approach?? It also was suggested to me that I place transmission magnets in the chain drive areas to " catch " any metal that comes through the system. My only concern about the magnets is if the machine takes a hard bounce or just the normal bouncing will the magnets come loose and attach to the chain or sprockets ? Thoughts about the magnets appreciated also.
