It looks like the bearings might have been installed backwards. The metal shield on the bearing should be facing the outside of the roller (not the rubber seal). It was hard to tell if this was done that way in the video or not. For the bolts, I was able to get the ones it came with installed by pulling the pin out slightly and then moving the bolt into place and pushing the pin back in.
Hay brother i appreciate the video. I have a buddy's machine in now for undercarriage and he also has a newer 100 and suggested doing this that's how i found the video. I have a few questions can you just get a rebuild kit for the 100 and install it on the 85 and not replace the actual rollers themselves and did you know bobcat offers a supposed hard to find retrofit kit for the 85 to 100 style. I watched the video a few weeks agoband didn't remember tou mentioning one or the other if you did o apologize

It was tough to figure out which way they went in because the diagram was not very specific.
So how many hours would you say you have on the greaseless rollers? No problems yet?
About 200hr no issues
So how do u like the greasless rollers?Also what happened to the engine that caused all that damage?
So far so good. Much smoother and quiet than brass bushing set up
as for the engine, not 100% sure what caused it
I have an MT 85 as well. We use it a ton. How many hours do you have on yours?
about 1100
Rollers still doing good ?We are planning to do this on all our mts
So far so good!

mt100 rollers are different than mt85 in the way they mount so it will not work
Do you know if you only need the plate spacers to make it wide track? Trying to make mine a wide track
I believe so
why does it look like the pin holes are much larger than the pins? where the old pins the same Outer diameter?
New pins and old pins are different diameter. I would guess they had to make the new pins small enough to fit in the bearing
Do you have part numbers available?
I do not anymore. If you go to bobcats online parts catalog you can find them in there
