[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 28628, member: 897"] Check your axle shafts. I helped a friend a month back to pull a hub to replace the seal. The shaft was grooved and the shaft had play where you could pull it straight out and push it in about 1/16 inch. We ended up getting a speedy sleeve to fix the groove. Bobcat also sold us a “special washer” that replaces the one on the chain-case end of the axle shaft to remove the end play. It is a machined piece with recessed sides. The two sides are different to give you two different amounts of correction depending upon how much end play you have. The washer was about $50 USD. If you have a lathe you could easily make one. Our parts guy told us that the end play will take out the bearings if you don't fix it. If the washer won't fix it you have to replace the axle shaft and bearings.
