It all started 6 weeks ago. Was plowing and seeing hydraulic fluid on the ground oh no what happened. The d200 was pushing snow like mad then all of a sudden I see a trail of hydraulic fluid as I'm backing up oh no back to the garage. Found the case on the run was broken open from the inside low and behold. A boat that loose inside and got caught around the bull gear and the housing lost got it apart did I mention it's a 1977 so it's been together for a long time got the hubs off broke one had to order a new used hub got it apart needed a set of needle bearings in one side ordered gasket put it back together and it leaked not in the same spot on one of the gaskets that had never been taken apart take it apart put gasket sealer on and we're all better. The weld is holding up great. Decided to make a 2-in receiver because I used the ball hitch to put my weights on before and everybody told me bad move so after doing a little research and figuring I made my own now we have the weights on there securely all said and done thanks to the members and transmission forum for all the help and shining light on what was wrong with the inside yes of course a boat broken side grade 5 should have been grade 8 now updated these are a few pictures of my fun time

My c-160 input belt idler pully is in good shape but the bearing is dry; smooth but dry. As you can see I tried drilling out the spot welds but the halves are fused I guess by induction welding as another has stated. I took a large syringe from the local  farm supply and took the sharp tip off of the needle. I found that the seal on the side of the bearing is just thin rubber. I really did a number on that seal with the 1/16" dia needle. It's about half gone. I should have left the sharp point on the needle to make a small hole in the seal. Any way I was able to fill the bearing with Lucas Red that I has loaded. I'm thinking that it'll probably stay fairly clean and not loose the grease very fast considering that it's behind the sheet metal. It beats buying a new one and will probably last as long as I need it to. It spins smoothly now without the dry bearing noise.
