[QUOTE="thetool, post: 19091, member: 1534"] I'm not seeing as many T180/190 motors fail as the large frame, first generation motors with the smaller hubs. Maybe it's because there are more large-frames out there? I don't think it's an undercarriage issue, and the only difference I know of about “newer undercarriages” with bobcat is that they put the rollers on leaf springs. That's about the only change you could make to a system that already works pretty well. No need for a ground-up re-design I guess. I think the problem with Bobcat motors is the high-preload hubs needing expensive oil on a regular basis, not getting done, and that stupid case drain filter. I'm really almost ready to recommend that they (the filters) be discarded after the first 500 hours. I don't think they serve any useful purpose other than to kill drive motors. [/QUOTE]
