Hello,
I found a pin hole leak from my final drive case housing on my Bobcat T190. It is leaking a remarkable amount from such a small hole. I removed the track and cleaned it up a little and when operating it starts pooling at the 9 o’clock side below the hydraulic lines.
Obviously, I would rather not replace the final drive motor at the excessive price. I think replacing the case housing would lead to a lot of precision work and probably more problems.
Is it possible and would you recommend for me to just spot weld over the pin hole leak? I would also change the drive oil and replace the case in line filters, but hoping I can just clean it up real good and bead a weld on it. Thoughts?
