Default Re: Volvo A40F

I took the A40 and the 374 excavator outside and thought that I make a little loading and unloading video, but that did not go as planned. First I blew the oil return hose on the 374 (again) and a little bit later the planetary gear unit on the A40 tear down it self The bogie axles are in a quite side stress when doing tight turns on heavy load. I was doing a tight turn on a concrete surface and I noticed that the bogie wheels tends to "fall under", if you guys know what I mean. And soon after that one wheel with the hub came off. Apparently the planetary gear outer hub is only press fitted
No real damages done, but I'm a bit worried will the hub stay in place after I push it in, maybe I use some retaining compound.

What I did to fix the planetary gear problem was I tig welded few spots on the end of the drive shaft, so that the planetary gear hub can't move outwards.

I should have realized that when I was making the axles, but I didn't
