I noticed that my front wheel bearing is leaking, must be the seal. And the hydraulic cylinder is leaking a little. This the very first break down on this machine. Anyone else have wheel bearings leak before? Monday i'll have to call bobcat and order a seal
What size is that big nut in the middle of the wheel? The wheel bearings get their oil from the chain case correct? Because i see that the hydraulic sight glass is empty now
825 hours is not that much.. What year and model is it?? Also, having the sight glass empty is not that big of a deal. I have had new units low on fluid and I added just a pint to fill the sight glass. If you are low on hyd. oil, The hydraulics will start to act up on you.
If a Bobcat has bearing problems at less than 2,000 hours I would say that is a bad thing. Generally, a rule of thumb is that the axle seals and bearings last 4 tire replacements or more. If you are leaking only when running it is not that big of a deal. Leaking while parked is typically only from old, worn out bearings that tear out the seal. Jack it up and wiggle the tire to see if it is loose. The chain case oil is typically filled over the axle level so it will lubricate the bearings.

hate to dig up this old thread, but i got busy and never fixed the leaks. And they fixed themselves. Its been many months now, and never leaked a drop. I never seen that happen before. Sure is strange. So to this day, never had one problem with the bobcat :weightlifter:
