[QUOTE="bobbyjoe, post: 48647, member: 6514"] I know about the drive motors. See if the drive motors have ever been replaced. 2000 hours is about average on these I thinks. Make sure to change the oil in the motors every 200 hours (there is a plug you can get access to without removing anything, looking right at the sprocket). These drive motors are not cheap, 5 G's for each from dealer. Or a little over 2 for rebuilds but there is only one place that offers those that is legit. Sweet machines though. Also, for maintenance keep the area between the sprocket and motors sprayed out after muddy jobs. They fail mostly due to dirt grinding in there and getting into the face seals. Once it gets through then it will wreck the front housing also and you are looking at a new one. Keeping it clean will expand the life by far. [/QUOTE]
