    D6D final repairs

    Oil on the left side was nice and clean. He said that they pulled a roam disc on the last job for many many miles. With nothing but right turns. I’m not certain if that has anything to do with the failure or not. When we get this side together we are cracking the track on the left side and...

    I would say definitely bearing failure led to gear failure.

    D6D final repairs

    This was my observation as well. We will be pulling this dude this afternoon. Get ready to see some carnage. When I listened to this machine move 3’ I told him to shut it down. The gears were singing like a choir in there.

    D6D final repairs

    We managed to get the silly thing off. Are we able to remove the dead axle at the point? we are going to pull the final case tomorrow in one piece with the sprocket on the shaft. Outer bearing in the holder was in pretty poor shape. I expected that though as the drain on the final box was so...
