440 skidder problem

[sshier]

Hello i could really use some help. My 440 has destroyed an outer axle bearing on the left rear side. Wondering if anyone could explain how to change. Looks like i need to drop axle and seperate axle housing from diff but i would like to get some more info before i tear into it anything would help.

a  b  or c?  drop the belly pan unhook the drive shaft. the clamps or whatever you want to call then. lift the rear of the skidder up and roll the whole rear end out. take that tire off and stand it up resting on the other tire. there are bolts holding the axle housing on. take those out and lift. hopefully it didnt hurt the housing. the outer bearing needs to be greased until grease comes out around the seal. but also pack the new bearing in grease lots of it

it wouldnt be a bad idea to do the other side also. it will never be any easier than it is now. the  b  had different wheels and wheel hub. also the blade was a little different and a turbo on the motor. the  a  had the big cast wheel hub held on with a cap with 2 bolts along with some jb weld. not kidding on the jb weld
