    Bobcat S250 Drive Noise

    Anyone out there? Seems like the site has been down a lot lately.. So I was surprised to find brass inside my final drive... Anyhoo this journal bearing has a pretty deep spiral groove in it.. Is this normal? It seems to be a consistent spiral which leads me to think it is intentional so that...

    Here are a few shots of the trust plate on the second pump.. As well as the piston wall. There is some reflection in the pic, but the thrust plates feel smooth and only a slight "cloudy" strip around the rim.. The fit on the pistons of both pumps is tight.. No slop whatsoever.. Like I said, I am...

    Hey guys, So I got the engine out and Hydrostatic pump off.. Pulled the left side apart and this is what I am seeing.. Never seen the inside of one of these, but this is not looking to me like catastrophic failure.. I was expecting the thrust washer to be gone.. There is clearly wear on the...

    I'll get you my serial number in the morning.. 3 lines on the inlet of the case drain filter.. 2 from the final drives and I am pretty sure the other is coming from the auxiliary at the attachment point

    Yeah I'm going to start pulling the motor in the morning, so I can go get at the hydrostatic pump. Hoping it's just one side that failed. Then I would only have to potentially do one final drive? Definitely deeper than I wanted to get on this project but it's good opportunity to fix everything.

    Main filter looks clean! I had previously drained the hydro tank and can not see any flakes in the oil. The outlet of the case drain filter looks clean too..

    Possible that I could just do a cleaning and resealing though? Getting ready to go pull the engine.. Any tips? Thanks again for all the help EZ

    Bobcat S250 Drive Noise

    Yeah wasn't really hoping to be getting this deep right now.. When I drained my hydraulic oil tank i did not notice any glitter.. After looking at it again and watching some of @howididit's vids on YouTube I am fairly certain that what I am looking at is brass from the slippers and the thrust...

    Also is it possible that the clacking I was hearing was coming from my Hydrostatic pump?

    Would I confirm by inspecting my main hydraulic filter? EZ
