    Sprocket ware

    It looks wore out, also looks loose on the housing. It doesn’t have any dirt packed into the seam between the sprocket and the case. I’d be looking for one if it were mine it’s got what looks like one bolt broke off.

    how do excavators and dozers keep the oil pickup screen buried in oil on steep slopes?

    They have large, deep oil pans, use baffles and the pickup is very close to the pan bottom.

    What would this bucket be used for ?

    I believe they call them high tip buckets.

    Lube skid

    I run a Y strainer clean out too, diaphragm pumps are tough but it’s insurance against something getting into one of the rubbers and cutting it.

    This will be an interesting thread moving forward......

    Had an apprentice do that doing a service on a unit I was replacing an axle on. He looked at me when we found it and said “it slid right in. Why would they make it like that?” I just laughed and told him to slow down and make sure how things look before you go ripping.

    I think I changed the exact same parts on a 1021f case not too long ago. Bosch fuel system? Case/curser was nice enough to put the rail under the valve cover.

    Used John Deere 160lc leaking bug time

    There’s a ton of smoke in the video does the muffler have a leak? It looks like a rear main seal. Not too big a deal to replace. Pumps and flywheel have to come off. If exhaust is leaking it’ll take out the new one
