We used to seal the inside by cutting a disc out of cardboard, put sealer on one side, set it on a socket and feed it into the yoke with an extension till it bottomed. While being careful not to get sealer on the splines.

I've bottomed my extension a couple times. Depends on the working angles...
Dang that beats the hell outta a lil bit at time on a screwdriver tip,,,
weather has moderated here. Tryin to get the mini-ex track project done. Everything about this project has been a fukfest. I got another link coming.
dant get in such a damn hurry. ewe never know whats in there, proceed with caution.
every thing is now days Tim. bonus points for using the loader. fuk a jack.
you'd be surprised what i have used a front loader and knuckleboom for............never work under it though. im crazy but not stupid.
T1 dated a girl like that
I've been working on the Schaeff SKS631. It still has the same used battery that was in it when I bought it. New battery terminals, an isolated terminal for jump starting. And, a new cab heater. It had large heater/ac unit jerry rigged behind the seat. 
I almost bought an ASV/Terex PT60 trackloader yesterday. It needs an engine and was a pretty good deal. My neighbor has been wanting a loader so I let him buy it.
In other news, I've been helping with under carriage repairs on a friends ASV/Terex RT60. The idlers and boggies run on tappered roller bearings. The inside bearing runs in oil. The outside bearing runs packed in grease. There is a seal between the bearings. ASV cut corners on the bearing pre-load/ adjustment. The problem is, the whole axle assembly spins in the undercarriage frame and wallers out the welded in bushing. I've been setting up the bearings with a spacer so the assembly clamps the frame fully and wont loosen up.

I’d like to have that smallest track loader that ASV puts out, the 25 I believe. That would be ideal for working in my barn and other close quarters
That is the Rc30/Pt30. Thats a cute little loader. ASV also made a Scout that would be handy around the farm and woods.
Does the bed dump on that?
I think it was an option. Its built heavy enough to handle it
thats a crazy way to do it. i wonder why they complicated so?
I'm not sure why oil for one bearing and grease for the other. I wonder what their reason for the added expense. I see some rusty greased outer bearings and the oiled side bearing seemed fine.
It is time consuming to make them spacers and set pre-load but the axle nut torque with spacers is 300ftlbs vs. 111ftlbs for no spacers. That's a big difference in clamping force. And with no spacer, I think one good bump and it would loosen up.
Neighbor picked up his new trackloader yesterday. It made it off the trailer and into the shop without slinging a connecting rod through the block. We got the engine out and steam cleaned the engine compartment. The 15 years of grime was tough to cut with the steam cleaner.
Today we'll get the new spare engine from the shed and start transferring accessories
