    I don't know why anyone would question you on the tracks but there are all kinds out there and in numbers. This video is telling me to do something as my right drive is weak and needs to be replaced or rebuilt. Thanks for another good one, Mike.

    I’ve been trying to figure out how these work inside, and so far this is the best video I’ve seen. Notice the outer planetary carrier spins within the ring gear, but the second stage (inner, closest to the drive motor) planetary carrier is stationary, and the planet gears are the ones driving the ring gear from the inside.

    The prop shaft(driveshaft) is a wear item made from inferior material to the internals.

    Just wondering... while you were assembling the brake discs and frictions, I noticed that you didn't line up the splines on the discs. There is a bunch of teeth then a space then more teeth another space etc. I would think that if the teeth and spaces arent lined up with the teeth and spaces on the outer housing, you would risk pulling the teeth of the discs. Just my thoughts.

    @davidmorse8432 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good tutorial on final drive inner workings. There is a large main bearing in this assembly that deserves attention. The adjustment is critical because if it is not within spec, the metal faced seal that keeps the oil in the gear housing could begin to leak. There is a large nut behind the primary planetary gear set. This nut adjusts the preload on the bearing. My final began seeping a little oil so I tightened this nut and it stopped the leakage. You can do this without splitting the track.

  • @jimlane9039
    @jimlane9039 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just a tip. Next time you rebuild any hydraulic pump or motor, have a squirt can full of new, clean oil to lubricate all moving surfaces as you re-assemble. When you installed the new Rotating Group (Piston Block and Pistons) the Swash Plate was dry. The lubrication for the Piston Shoes to the Swash Plate comes through the Pistons, through the Knuckle, to the center of the Piston Shoes. Oil under pressure supplies this lubrication. Since this is a high speed, low torque motor it typically runs 600 rpm minimum. When you start up a new or rebuilt unit dry, the Piston Shoes are riding on a dry surface. Since the Piston Shoes are Brass and the Swash Plate is hardened steel, the Brass Shoes lose the battle of what wears first when no lubricant is present. Also rotate the housing to its side. This way the Piston Shoe will not drop out off the Piston. 53 years in the Hydraulics and Pneumatics business has been a tremendous learning curve. And I still have more to learn.

    Question?? When you installed the brake plates they had teeth and blank spaces between them. The outer gear housing also had that. Should they have been lined up or does it not matter that you just dropped them in and had teeth from the ring not in teeth on the housing? Just curious cause I'm about to tear down my case 130 for the same reason. One track not pulling, motor turns, I'm betting I will find the stripped shaft aswell.
