You need to watch the bearing oil like a hawk. If the seal goes and you lose the oil, it will take the bearings out.I don't know if bobcat would call it a problem as such, its like everything, it needs to be maintained or it can fail. The problem is, not a lot of people know to do it. If you neglected the engine, it too would fail from using up oil and it will lock up. An engine is something everyone knows to service, but not a drive motor on a tracked machine.I'd finish pulling it down and see if you can get away with a bearing and seal. Hopefully the metal has not yet taken the motor out....</blockquote>
