    The hub that holds the ring gear was welded up and that is the only thing I can find out of standard. Maybe cocking the ring gear some. Or a bad install on a planet shaft and damaged a bearing? not sure. BUT I cannot find a torque spec for the hub nut. It is the large ring nut with lock plate...

    centerline, everything you described was not the issue. Its the first things we checked, we have over 40 years each in this business. It was a part left out by the dealer as it turns out.

    Komatsu PC250 slow bucket dump

    It appears we have found and solved the problem.

So he put one on it, before reinstalling...
