Hello I have a CAT 246 skidsteer, I have a leak in my drive motor that filled my chain sump full of oil passed the threads. I have it out now and pulled down to the outer bearing looks like I need to press the shaft out of the drive motor case to get to the seals any thoughts on this? I am seeing a split collar and looks like that keeps a lash adjustment on the bearing and is pressed.
Machine Serial Number prefix please. If it's a 246 (not a B or C) then it ought to be 5SZ. If it is a 5SZ machine need to know if the Serial Number is above or below 4000.
Yes it is a 5SZ below 4000 It is a rexroth drive motor
I found out this shaft does not need to be pressed out, there are retaining clips holding it in. It did look like a special collar that needing pressing but it was not at all. Thought I would mention this if anyone tears one of these down you will know.
Hi did you ever get to changing seals on drive motor for 246? Was it challenging or doable?
From your question in another post you have a 246C machine. The drive motors on the two models are completely different, unsurprising seeing as they were probably built 10+ years apart.
