Seen this happen on two NH skid steers. Seems two bolts and bell housing a little flexible. Splines on on went bad even with bolts tight. I drilled a small hole in top of bell housing above spline to be able to squirt gear oil on them. Dry splines lead to early failure. I have a L 785 that has much heavier drive shaft spinning pump with grease fittings. Awesome older simpler machine never breaks down.Good video.
repaired a few same issue. Two bolts not stiff enough let's pump flex and splines strip. I added another bracket to support pump. This was back in 1997.
As far as I could tell there was no by pass for the fluid to allow the machine to roll easily. I was fortunate enough to have a larger loader to pick up and move the skid steer until I repaired it.
Hey Robert! Thanks for the video sir. I have a question that you might be able to answer. I have a New Holland l785. Do you know how to disengage the hydraulic drive mechanism to enable skid steering to roll freely?
That seems to be my only option. I would love to get it to roll freely so I can haul it elsewhere without having to pick it up. Is there any way to bypass it?

crazy doing that without tipping the cab

Hello. Could you please tell me where to add hydrostatic oil to our LX565? Also how to check the oil level as well. Thank You!
Did this fix work for you? How did you order the flywheel disk?
Just did this same repair on LS160 with 2300 hrs not an easy job all bolts were tight so vibration and flex would have to be the cause.
