Gentlemen,
I am struggling with servicing my JCB 8014 and I need some advice. I changed oil in Track Gearbox (both sides) and put Hypoid Gear Oil EP90 GL-5 API, but reading JCB User Book I learned that they recommend SAE 30 HD Mineral Engine Oil Heavy Duty Engine Oil ??? This is strange, because I always thought that any gear mechanism would prefer Gear Oil not Engine Oil. Anyway, following the book I replaced gear oil with recommended engine oil.
The Service Book does not show how to grease Track Idler Wheels and Track Rollers ? Both need Gear Oil HD90 GL-5. I tried to search the net hoping to get some info regarding the above, but no joy. JBC web site is complete rubbish ! No technical support what so ever. They don’t even have service manual for download. So, I am hoping that someone here will be willing to share his knowledge. Especially greasing procedures : Track Idler, Slew Ring Bearing, Slew Ring Gear Teeth (this need “Special Slew Pinion Grease” but there is not technical spec of the product?)
Thanks for reading.
