If you recall, a while back i was asking for fellows who have been indide a 722 for information on the internal parts problems they may have had. Ours quit with a bang and locked up R.F. side. Pictures will show just why it failed.Bearings, bolts, frame wear. shaft insert someone installed ,Gear busted into,with many parts left in the tank. Son is gonna remedy the whole situation with new parts, welding old frame gear holder,Run a magnet throught the bottom of the tank to remove shavings, bearings etc. Now if this unit wasn"t so badly needed to load our winters wood supply on the truck, then we could put the 706 into play. However the tractor is much slower then the Bobcat i.e bucket lift, tilt, clearance on the truck side for loading.My son pulled the L.S.panell off, and made an inspection of the good side of the bobcat, All is WELL there. No Major wear indicators on any of the sprockets,chains,frame assembly.We are going to F&F for a master link for the chain (that will make 2 M.Links on that side. More is better???? lol.Well Now that the unit is in the repair mode, (after the right side is repaired)its on to the left rear seal that has been Slowly leaking oil for a little while. Gonna stop the leak. Well ,if you ever need to know the internal workings of a old 722 Bobcat. Hopefully we will be around to give a small amount of advice. Here"s the pictures.Oh Yes,ps, were going to change hyd filters.just forgoing the question on changing filters. lol.Warmest reguards, LOU & Victor
