I finally managed to remove the final drive from my 555A. Having never worked on heavy equipment before it was a learning experence for sure. Actually I have been working on other equipment, tractors mainly, plus it's been high 90's and over 100 a number of days. It looks as though I will need to replace everything except houseing and bull gear. The main shaft gear is chipped in a number of places but the bull gear is near perfit. All bearings, seals and gaskets were trash. Going to order parts soon.
