Hello All,
I have a case 580k backhoe. I just replaced both final drive gears. (1 was broke and the other had cracks) Took everything apart kept everything clean reassembled the transaxle and now have an issue. It appears 1 of the drive gears is very tight to the bull gear. As I slowly rotate the tire i can feel resistance every few inches of rotation. When I rotate the wheel and look into the top inspection hole the resistance matches the rotation of the final drive gear. It looks like everytime a final drive gear tooth hits top center on the bull gear there is resistance. It is almost like the teeth on the new drive gear is a couple thou thicker than they should be. Has anyone ever run into this? Any suggestions?
Thanks for any ideas!
