hello everyone , I'm the new guy on the forum. Was hoping to get advice on replacing the flexible coupling drive pucks on my 951-c track loader. Thanks.
The more access you can get the better. You'll probably need the floor up and the belly guards down (be careful if they haven't been down for a while. They will be full of mud and HEAVY.)
While you are replacing them you should really check the run-out between the two flanges using a dial indicator. The closer you get the flanges to being parallel the better the replacements will live. The engine can be shimmed both front and rear in order to get the two flanges aligned.
Yup. A set of replacement engine mounts may also be on the cards in addition to the drive pucks.Usually the cause along with age as to these failing, mounts cushions sag over time.
