[QUOTE="thetool, post: 19136, member: 1534"] I'm assuming you're writing about the drive motor hub oil? The T200 is what the 864 was. They used the same drive motors when they made the first T250's and T300's, and the hubs that worked okay in the 864 were too girly for the large frame loaders. I don't know if they ever updated the motors for the T200 to have the same hubs as the large frame loaders. On the large frame loaders, you can tell if they are the latest motor/hub if the drive sprocket is over 3” deep or so from the bolt hole face to the drive gear ring. The old school motors used a shallower dish on the drive sprocket, about 2 1/2” deep. That's how I tell by looking at the machine. What I am not sure of is the undercarriage set-up on the T200, whether it's the same and whether you can tell by looking at the sprockets. You have a bearing failure in your hub. Some of that metal is also in your case drain filter. You can pull down your hub now, replace the bearings, and if it's not to far gone, save yourself a bundle over the cost of both motors at least, if you keep going with it. It's a process to replace the bearings, tho. They're highly loaded and you need a press. That's why they run this special expensive oil I've been moaning about so much. I don't know what kind of oil you've been using in your oil changes. If you weren't using the right stuff, that could have caused your failure. Bobcat recommends changing the hub oil every 500 hours. Best case is you're looking at bearings and a seal kit. It's not going to be cheap now, but a motor is like 4 grand, I believe. I hope you'll let us know what happens. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
