Good on you for having a go legend. A tip if I may. When undoing hydraulic hoses. Use a spanner on the male fitting to hold it. And try to undo the Female fitting on the hose. But if that won't work. The hose also has a small hex flat just behind the Female JIC fitting. Use a spanner on the hose to hold the hex. And turn the Female fitting. I hope I have explained that well enough. And sometime shocking the Female fitting by using a chisel and lightly tapping with a hammer in the direction to undo (lefty loosely, Righty tighty) And lots of LUBE
I've got a leak in my final drive gear oil seal. Grit got into a hole in the plate cover and chewed up the seal I believe. Hopefully the planetary gears aren't damaged. With luck
Thanks for sharing. Hope I never have to do that. I do, however, have to change a hose down there. There are three bigger ones one smaller. I bought a set of flare spanners. Not so clever: they don't go over the coil protectors. And I can't squeeze any spanner in. I saw from your next vido that you'd finageled some spanners but I didn't see them actually in use. I'll look to see if they appear in another vid where you actually get the hoses undone.
Where did you find a rebuild kit? Or who did you have rebuild it or where did you buy a replacement drive motor I just purchased a 18J sight unseen and got the raw end of the stick
Thanks, looks like I’m on this tomorrow. Having watched this, I think I’ll soak the fittings overnight before trying to undo them tomorrow 😉

How often do you change it ? I bought one 3 years ago never changed it didn't know I had to
My mini excavator starting to sqeek from here . What do I put oil or hydraulic fluid

Hey give Jason at Trackworks Auckland a call. He rebuild it and did an excellent job.
Yeah but how hard was it to pull that line out to put a new end on it?
Was not to bad, got a whole new hose made up.
Hi, what model machine is this, I have a IHI 10GX, very old, about to attempt the same, thanks for uploading, brett
Ihi 18j, younger than mine, but very similar, cheers
What is the oil or Hydraulic fluid
@@Trash_is_life its gear oil I believe, will check level tomorrow before doing some light work.
If you need new final drive, please feel free to contact me.
Just found your channel. I have equipment videos on mine if interested. I subbed man!
Do you want it? I did thise
Too bad he doesn't speak English...I could have said something about taking off the hydraulic lines first.
