Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dirtballer" data-source="post: 109395" data-attributes="member: 18215"><p>I searched the NH forum, but found no help for this. I've had this NH LS160 for over 15 years without any mechanical issues until now. Last week I worked a ~500 foot driveway for over four hours without problem. Brought the machine home and used it for 20 minutes in the compost pile and the large hose going to the control valve ruptured. I removed and replaced the hose. Because the hose rests on the pan, I had to clean out the junk that accumulates there. In doing so, I started to find ball bearings and what looked like a small lid for a paint can. I later learned this was the cover for the gearbox innards and I lost the inside bearing. I have no idea when this happened, as the blown hose was the only problem I had after running the machine for hours just a day before. Seemingly, the machine still runs fine ... but I'm not moving it yet until I figure out how to replace the damaged bearing. I got the new bearing in the mail today (I found a brand new FAG 6011 50mm x 90mm x 18mm open on eBay for $15 delivered). My question is, do I have to remove the gearbox to replace the bearing or can I do it as it sits? Do I have to tilt the cab for this job? I'm hoping not. Anyone have any experience with replacing the gearbox bearings on NH loaders? Any help is most appreciated. (how does one format posts on this forum?
