I have a 2006 Lull 644E and I was having trouble with the transfer case overheating and there was too much oil. We figured the seal was gone between the transmission and the transfer case so we took it off and opened it up. Here the bearing on the input shaft was shot and had worn into the housing 3/8 inch, as well as worn into the gear. Just looking for advice on what to do, we priced parts out and parts alone are $18,000. Next week we are going to check out getting it rebuilt. Daniel
JLG offers reman transmissions. By the time you spend the money on parts and labor, you can just buy a complete and have a 1 yr warranty.
I hate to be a downer on this but i think it might be time to find an auction to take this to...... Equipment is pretty hot right now and the price between what you are going to get for this at an auction and the repair cost should offset the upgrade price to a newer machine. Just a thought, that is a pretty serious repair.
Thanks for the tips. ..we took it to a machine shop and they actually got it machined back to spec ..just waiting on some bearings now...total repair now should be under 5000.
