Sounded like the drive chains where jumping today so i went to tighten them, right front wheel bearings are gone. Worked on it till my back said stop then called in a younger back to help, so with 2 of us saying really bad things about the engineer that designed this thing we finally got it apart. Phone call to Rocky Mountain Equip tomorrow and see how long parts will take to get here. Shouldn't be anything special, i hope.
 
What kind of machine is it? I have a bobcat 873 and I have to rebuild the lift cylinders very soon. While i'm at it I have a pin that seized and turned and won't take grease. Not looking forward to it. These things aren't fun to work on.

My my machine is a Case 1840 skid loader. Hand controls for the bucket, which i much prefer over foot controls. For sure no room to work on these things. Found a vid on U-tube on removing the hub, no dice can't use his info and same machine.
