$10k? Is that Canadian?
Dealer doing my 544Js or 426C backhoes is always under $6k.
If you can get the axle out, that's the toughest part, just because of rigging and lifting.
20 hours @ $150...$3k
Parts @ $1k (probably closer to $650)
So, there's $4k
Add another $2k if you go after axle and pinion seals.
If you can get an independent, it should be less.
Did you know, Caterpillar dealers can produce a formal quote.
