Message: <blockquote data-quote="goodtech" data-source="post: 1809" data-attributes="member: 259"><p>The manuals says that as long as you can reach the oil with finger in the chain case it is at the correct level. the only down fall to this is if yu forget to check it, it can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your chains and sprockets, axles, axle housings, and axle bearing. It will not affect the hydrostatic motor itself, but it can damge the sprockets in the motor. They are relatively cheap. go down to the bobcat dealer by yourself the seal and the speedy sleeve. It comes in a kit and it is like around 30 dollars. Go home put you machine on jack stands. remove the tire that the seal is leaking on. remove the big bolt in the middle of the axle. take a slegde hammer and hit the back of the axle hub. This takes some hitting sometimes but you will eventually get trust me. drill a hole in your seal remove the seal. Now there is only two things that make those axles leak. 1) if your axle moves in or out, or if there is wire and shit stuffed into it. if your axle moves in or out you can go to the bobcat dealer and by an thicker washer to put in the chaincase. But let me know I can help you with that. But anyways clean up the axle area, see if it needs a speedy sleeve, if it does I believe its 2 1/2 exhaust pipe works great to put it on. then pack the back of the seal full of grease and install it. Make sure it stay even all the way around. We Have a tool at bobcat to make sure that they get installed even, but I have done it for years at my own place with out it also. intall your axle hub, blue loctite the bolt, intstall your tire and make sure to torque the wheels at 150 ft lbs. Good luck, it is alot easier than it sounds.</p></blockquote><p></p>
