Digger Track/Final drive motors

[IVECOKID]

Evening Folks , has anyone attempted to repair or Rebuild a Track or Final drive motor on a mini digger  .

My Kobelco has decided to spew the Drive  making Hell of a racket, sounds like the half shaft stripping. 

Drive motor is off and on bench at the moment, have removed the  pump and there is needle bearings floating about too ! 

Looking fairly terminal at moment and have priced a New unit up @ £1400 .?

We have a few Big Hydraulic outlets here but they won't touch Track motors , I have Phoned  half dozen Specialists  up and the  cheapest is £1400 up to 2k .

My Kobelco is only a 2 ton machine .

Regularly change the oil and the final drives would outlast the machine - don't, and you know the rest.

 

Same goes for your truck diff.

I have regularly changed oil but Seals went and soil entered, my fault I should of got seals done straight away , machine is 18 years old but very clean for its age .I have owned it for 10 years .
