A little hint, use a PORT A POWER with a long bolt in the hub, then tap on the spindle, it usually pops right out. Carefully use a scotch brite wheel to clean the socket part of all rust and nicks. Also apply a very thin coat [extremely thin coat] of anti-seize on the shaft before installing hub. If you put to much on the shaft, you could cause the bolt to prematurely break and make the whole hub come loose, so be very careful with this tip. This works on almost all skid steers with these type of hubs. I've done more than I can remember with Zero failure.
my SK800 had a compression washer behind the spindle, just on the front. ended up just replacing the bearings and hub and leaving the spindle. all i had was a broken hub anyways @@Aumanlandscape
@@georgealva8492 the washer came of with a hammer pull and a lot of WD-40 and the cone shaped spindle i hammered it out with the screw on so i wouldn't mess the treads
Have you had any more issues with your bearing this year? I had to replace 4 of mine this year. Definitly going to do this myself next time. Have you tried the aftermarket parts with the screw on caps yet?
@@Aumanlandscape I think im going to replace my front and rear idlers with dual rollers similar to the middle ones. I think it will take some pressure off of the single rollers.
@@Aumanlandscape direct fit parts from ditchwitch. I believe the front is the same as the middle three rollers. And the rear is split so it doesn't hit the drive sprocket. There is another video on RUclips where a guy did it to his. He also added a weight kit. I might do the upgrades this winter
You got lucky just wait to you replace the rear hub assembly there’s no way to hit it with a punch. I used a 4 ton jack to push it out and it didn’t move a bit
This could have been an extremely useful video but unfortunately the way you filmed it, ruined it. You stop recording in the middle of explaining something and it starts back up in the middle of you saying something completely different. I can't even imagine why anyone would post a video like this? It's a shame because you seem like you have a lot of good advice but you have to work on your recording skills

How did you remove the big washer?
Not sure I understand or remember what washer you’re asking about.

Did you get the washer off? How did you do it? It has a slit in it like a compression bushing @@XerocoleGardenCenterSales
I'm also working on a Sk800@@XerocoleGardenCenterSales

I have not. We haven't had to replace anymore since this video!

@@kristopherlemon5356 is that an option or is it something you're going to fabricate to fit on your own ?

too bad that happed with the dust cap .Our sk800 has a retainer over the cap to prevent that
