A bearing went out on the axle, operator just kept going, until the hub, tube, and axle were all destroyed! I am trying to talk the boss into replacing all the bearings and the chains as there is noticeable wear, the machine has 3500 hours on it, and had rubber tracks on it for the first 2000 hours of life. I will figure out what parts we will replace next week and take some more pictures when I really dig into it.
fire up the welder :drinkup
Bobcat will try to sell you a new pan. A buddy of mine made a blue print and had a machine shop start making new ends that you cut the tube back and weld the new end onto. He has actually done a few for the local Bobcat dealer here in town. JJ
