Exceptionally great video. This helped me immensely. I used a two point vehicle lift to raise the body off of the chain case. Your video is the only one on the internet that gave me the green light for my idea. I had to change out the axle bearings and seals. I had back surgery so I did not want to craw in and out trying to deal with the chain case still in the Bobcat.

I want you to know that this project saved my life. I purchased a 743b and the condition was better than yours however, drive motors were leaking into chaincase and i didnt know what I was going to do,till i found this page. THANKYOU!! By the way,I saw your Zooyork hoodie. Harold Hunter was a friend of mine. Last thing, do you have a parts list you could share with us?

Love the series. You will have a great, fully restored, million dollar machine when you are done! I'm glad I'm not the only one that considers their labor as free. I've repaired or modified equipment for probably 5 or 10 times the price of simply replacing it (if you count labor)! It sure makes good content, though.

Great info on the part prices and secondary sourcing. You can save on the paper gaskets by cutting your own out of gasket sheets, but you probalby already know that. Great channel you got here, as seen by all the positive comments.

Not trying to be the Monday morning quarterback as I’m always glad to see people take on projects they’ve never done before and learn from that. Nonetheless I just wanted to point out that you didn’t need to go through all that “tool making” for the axle seals. You’re mistake was trying to install the axle, the bearing, & the seal as a whole unit. All you needed to do was install each part individually. First you place the bearing in the race seat first (use grease to help it stay put) then Install the seal (use a block of wood to seat it in there) Last step; Now you can slide the axle in. Don’t be afraid to use some grease or lubricants to make things easier. Hope this helps. 👍🏻

You’re right , I should’ve done it that way. I only did it assembled because I was worried the bearing might cock eye and I’d have to pull it back out tearing the seal. However after doing it and seeing how easily they went on. You’re way is the correct assembly. I appreciate the help Mike

No worries. I recently rebuilt a Bobcat 632. That job was a nightmare at times. There were quite a few things that I learned on that adventure. Keep doing what your doing and if you need help, don’t hesitate to reach out. 👍🏻

I heated the seal sleeve before installing it when I did this job on a 743, check my channel if you are interested in watching my 743 axle struggles

You can also use the nut on the inside gear to suck everything together and seat the inside race/bearing. OP is probably past that step by now.

I know it’s to late but, Next time you need to knock a bearings on and you don’t have a pipe, cut one side of the old bearing with a cutting wheel and use it to install (beat) the race on, cutting it stops it from getting stuck. And it fit’s against the new bearing perfectly ! With no damage.

It would have started with 15-30 seconds of power to the glow plugs. The Kubota engines take some heat to start up. The 300psi cylinder would have came up after a few heat cycles running the engine

If memory serves me correctly, those bearings are a Timken LM104949 bearing and a LM104912 race. I've also used the 410519 National seals if you're looking to save some cash on those outer seals.
@surefirebuilds
8 ай бұрын
Yes. Those are the bearing numbers I used. This is the number for the outer seals from allskidsteers.com 6513277. They were $6.95 each Thanks for national seal number. I wasn’t able to confirm they would fit. So I chose the others

Well, if was me I think you'd be better off finding another 743 that is burnt out or blown up. the frame and drive axle case is used up or completely shot on yours. You want a good machine when you're done. besides, you're this far into it.
@jarvewhite4451

Yes, I agree. You could probably find a bare case at a junkyard for $1,000.

Also, if you do reuse the one you have, you need to use baking soda and neutralize the salt still on the metal. That machine has been used in salt hence the deep corrosion.

Baking soda , yeahh I could’ve done that, it would’ve been cheaper too. I bought a por-15 rust converter product that I brushed on the whole case. Thank you. I will apply that to the rest of the machine.

Awesome job so far It will be worth the effort. i have done this kind of thing before, a few things i found or was told to do was for any cracks drill a small hole(1/8) at both ends to stop it then weld it. for metal prep for paint use comet or ajax cleanser its way cheaper and more effective that any kind of paint thinner or chemical.

I want to drop a comment to thank you for unlocking some 'mysteries' for me. I have an oldie as well. 530. Tho not as crusty. But old. And it's a gasoline powered job. I went from the original Kohler to a 670 predator Vtwin. It's going to need some axle and chain case work eventually so to me dropping the whole geartrain is the ticket. 👍
