    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    Final update, as soon as it ran it kept leaking through the JB weld. Figured as much. Ordered a new final drive and just waiting for a nice day to install. Thanks to everyone for your help on this.

    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    Well, the plug came in. Too bad the small leak was at the location which exposed the o-ring. New plug did nothing different. Checked the final drive oil and it wasn’t contaminated with hydraulic fluid. In fact, appears it has been a while since changed. Very black and not a lot came out...

    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    Okay, ordered a $72 plug with $25 shipping. Now I have to see if I can remove this old one without causing more damage and hope the new plug doesn’t still leak. I will keep y’all updated. Thanks for all the help.

    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    Will be checking the oil level next weekend. Was just making a plan so I have the welder scheduled. Not thinking that is a great idea now. Ugh. Back to square one. Yea, I can try to take off the lines, but they are so rusted it is likely will need to replace all the 90 degree connections. What...

    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    Went back and cleaned it up the best I could with it still connected to the machine. It’s very inconvenient as it’s out in the woods about 20 miles from my house. Anyhow, so the small leak is coming from a rusted chipped off area at a plug. Didn’t see the plug with all the grime. Not sure it...

    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    Is the planetary the same as the Cam? Where the synthetic final drive oil goes? I do plan on draining and adding a couple ounces since tracks are off. If it is over full I guess that will be obvious since much more will come out than expected. Also, having absolutely no problems operating the...

    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    That was a thought, but it seems it only oozes from that location when I start the bobcat and then comes out faster when I operate the final drive. I would hope it can be welded after getting in there good and sanding it down a bit. Really don’t want to try to recondition it…

    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    I think I know a guy who can mig weld it. Going to have to get it very clean though and will cost more than I like, but if it works then it will be worth it.

    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    Oh boy. That is bad news. Maybe I will hire a guy to do it. Would you recommend mig or tig. I don’t know anything about either. thanks for all your help!

    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    Glad you asked. I actually only have a Miller stick welder. Have never used a mig or tig welder, so guess it has to be stick. Is that okay?

    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    I know, kind of a bad picture and was before it was cleaned up. I put UV dye in the hydraulic fluid to find it. The second picture shows where it is pooling. I attached another picture of the unit with an arrow where it has a hole.

    Final Drive Housing leak -T190

    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...
