I've got 12k TL150 machines with untouched final drives and motors, and SVL75 & SVL75-2 with 3k hours with untouched final drives.
The secret is to keep up on changing the captive gear oil.
Problem with the Cats is its the hydraulic side that packs it in most times. Very rarely does the final drive itself actually fail.
