[QUOTE="thetool, post: 18813, member: 1534"] Last friday, doing maintenance on a customer's T300 with 653 hours, I was able to convince him to let me change out his hub oil and clean/replace his case drain filter. The hub oil on the left motor was darker and thinner, while on the right was clean, but it seemed it was a short-shot, as very little drained out. The case drain filter element did indeed have some particles adhered to it, as well as some particles in oil suspension inside the filter housing. It looked to me like nothing more than a few break-in sheddings, but there was one small piece of rubber. On saturday, I visited my loocal dealer to pick up some parts on an unrelated issue, and happened to see no less than three pairs of track drive motors, sitting on pallets in his return/hold area, with the brake housings blown out. Each one of those pallets represented a bill of around $10K in my estimation, for motors alone and discounting damaged pumps. When I ordered another hub oil kit to replace my stock, I was told that I am the only who ever bought this part number. [/QUOTE]
