    Thanks Mike. I followed your instructions and I am sure it will work fine. I only forgot the small o-rings on the temperature sensors, but greased them and they look fine. A local shop wanted me to pay over € 700,- for overhaul. I ordered the neccesary rings and gaskets in the uk for € 80,-. There was little soot build up in the furnace, only the flat round gasket on the furnace chamber was mising. I could not test run it yet, but I am sure it wil do fine.

  • @anthonyshaw7251
    @anthonyshaw7251 2 місяці тому

    Hi Mike, just came across your videos, I’m with you on regular oil changes, & old school, couple of questions on this particular drive hub if you don’t mind, Is there a reason you dry built the bearings?, & an observation, with them thrust washers on both ends of the bearings/gears, is it not a design flaw, my point is that there is very little tolerance between the washers & bearings for a decent amount of oil to flow in & through the bearings, would have thought an oil gallery would be in there, possibly why the bearings broke in the first place, I ask this with respect, nice video, 👍

    • @MichaelJBerg

      They are flooded with oil when installed on the machine. They are in an oil bath.

    • @anthonyshaw7251
      @anthonyshaw7251 2 місяці тому

      👍 yeah I fully understand the mechanics, I’m a senior engineer in the UK, repairing all kinds of equipment, I’ve repaired many final drives, I’m just saying when the gear bearings are closed up with the thrust washers the gap is next to nothing, equipment I repair has decent gaps for the gear oil to lubricate the shaft bearings, just an observation. 🙏

    I just heard of a guy that claims he never changed bogie casing oil in 8000 hours. I just don't understand why people won't change oil at recommended intervals, it just not expensive compared to grinding parts up.

      @jone8626 3 дні тому

      I know a guy who never changes oil in his car or do any services what so ever on it. It lasts around 6 years before he has to get a new car. Then again his new cars costs around 3000-4000€.
