[QUOTE="janb, post: 2124, member: 300"] I'm pretty new also but... after some research and owning a Case Crawler (and buying used 864) I find out there are significant issues with under carriages, especially Bobcat, as they went into this arena from Wheeled Platform. basically BC has redesigned the lower rollers and idlers + drive sprockets a few times, and don't have it down yet... the lower rollers are $474 ea (x8) and may be bad before 1000hrs ! (dust seals are inadequate) Idlers fail early too Drive sprockets and motors are known to fail on early versions, (inadequate bearing area) there are some hints on this site as well as much conversation over here; - http://www.lawnsite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=18 I would get pressure off track, and check rollers for free side play, as well as oil tracking, and freedom of movement The conditions where machine was previously used , + maint is most significant to longevity [/QUOTE]
