I had a final drive go out all of a sudden on my TB260. No signs of prior oil leaking out, and only 2000 hours on the machine. Gear oil and metal shavings leaked out on the back of the unit and seized up.
I got a price from the dealer on an OEM final drive for $3250 plus tax. The other option is an eBay unit for about $2400 from Presicion Final Drive. They seem to have good feedback. Would you guys go for the Takeuchi one, or aftermarket and save money?
When I took the hoses off the final drive, we saw what looked like very fine brass particles in the hydraulic oil, So Ill probably do a fluid change there.
