Gehl 4635 wheel bearing, again.

[Chris201000]

Is it just my machine, or does anyone else have a machine that has experienced repeated wheel bearing issues. I've replaced 2 and am heading for another. Replacements have no issues, just wandering if there is an oiling problem with these machines. The bearing I am currently replacing looks like it wasn't getting any oil and was rusty. My 4635 has about 2400 hrs. on it.

Rust means you are getting water/moisture in. Could it be a bad seal or contaminated oil?
I have never had a bearing let go.

I replaced the axle as the bearing had turned on it. The shoulder that the seal rides on was pretty rough also. Hope this ends bearing issues.
