[QUOTE="siduramaxde, post: 19133, member: 248"] Just as the title reads. I changed the drive motor carrier oil today and one side had very small metal flakes in it. When I bought the machine 3 years ago I changed all the fluids and when I changed oil on this same carrier then it had very little oil come out. It was also very black oil. That was about 300 hours ago and now when I change it there is plenty of oil but there are metal flakes in the oil. I do change this oil about every 100hrs. So this is the 3rd time since the first time I changed it. Is there anything I can do to prevent a major repair? Can the part be taken apart and a new bearing installed before it does major damage? How do I know if my machine has the updated carriers? Thanks in advance for the help. [/QUOTE]
