Eagle Loader - new axles

[Rimrock]

Thanks, we have tried the shimming option for 2 set's of original axles, put it didn't lasted for long for these specific axles. In addition to too big bearing support tolerances, the gears are more or less uneven castings or stampings. It seams just like a lottery, some axle is ok/repairable, many are not. Too bad Eagle did choose the casted truck axles as a starting point, and not the CNC machined ones. They are both available at about the same cost in many different webshops.
Well, hopefully the nightmare with axle troubles is over for this specific loader. Hopefully more fabricators will start compete in the same price range as Eagle, and they are forced to start using some better mechanics/hydraulics, and cut back on their profit.
