Full of fluid? Did it get moisture in and freeze? I say you posted it was -20C recently in your neck of the woods!

No, full of oil and it failed while the machine was moving some snow, just started making noise and puked all the oil out on the ground.

Sounds like catastrophic failure. If your tractor is still under warranty, I'd be calling the dealer! May be more than a bearing failure at this point.

Oh it was, and I must give my dealer, ( Pattersons, in Moncton NB ) kudos for their quick response, replaced the entire hub as an unit and I'm back in business, Thanks to Pattersons and to Earl's in North Sydney NS, for doing the work. I hope it was strange one-off. Tractor is gently used.

Modify Snow Pusher.jpgI have a 2012 LS7010 that I purchased at Patterson's in Moncton. Did they send the part over to a repair shop in your area, to save you from hauling it all the way to Moncton. That would be a great help. Did they figure out what caused the bearing failure. I did lots of plowing snow this winter as well. I haven't had any trouble with the 7010 since I purchased it new, hope it stays that way.

Yay! ... Will they tell you what happened? Sounds like one part caused a chain reaction to break the hub. ... But maybe simply a casting failure to let parts shift and jam up. :confused3:

Yup they send the parts to a local shop, all the shop could tell me is that the bearing failed and damaged other parts, it started making noise and the tractor was stopped immediately, oil poured out, end of story. As I said, hopefully a one-off, pleased with the tractor otherwise.

Interesting bucket, Ralph, haven't seen one quite like it.

Just finished putting a new 5/8" wear plate on today. I just about have all the modifications done for another year.
