Bearings
Throughout the Mudd-Ox are bearings which enables parts to rotate. It’s extremely important to maintain bear-
ings, as replacement is a time consuming and expensive process. Grease bearings every 25 hours or after enter-
ing mud or water, whichever comes first. Only use marine wheel bearing grease.
Signs of Worn Bearings
• Water leaks inside the Mudd-Ox around the outer axle bearings.
• Control and shift lever assemblies wobble in all directions.
• The axle and wheel assembly wobbles in all directions.
• Drivetrain is put into a bind, making a “popping” sound.
• Sprockets and chains have uneven wear.
Part 1: Transmission System
Inside the front of the Mudd-Ox, under the operator seat and floorboard, is the transmission system. There are
linkages and jackshafts that have bearings. All models of Vengeance, no matter which installed options, have the
same exact bearings installed on this system.
Inspection
With access to the transmission system, simply grab each of the linkages (control levers, shift levers) and jack-
shafts (shafts which the transmission drives via chains) and check them for any slop. This is done by attempting
to wiggle them up/down and left/right. If there is any slop, it is necessary to replace the bearings.
Note:
There are
spacers on the jackshaft. When checking for slop, ensure the whole shaft is sloppy and not simply the spacers.
Location: Non-Greaseable Bearings
This style of bearing cannot be serviced. It can only be completely replaced.
