EX60 TRACK MOTOR QUITS ON ONE SIDE

chiefCW2 ยท 2017-06-24 12:35

HITACHE E60 Tracks work good when oil is cold but the right side slows then quits working after a few minutes. the left side keeps pulling. taking the right side track motor looks like big job. does this mean the seals are bad in the motor? Do I have to take the planetary gears off to take the motor off. where do i get parts for this motor? any help would be great.

    More than likely the seals that need replacing are in the swivel joint, which passes oil from the upper to the track drives. Or not, YMMV

    Thanks, I was thinking it was seals in the motor. I never thought about the swivel joint. Thanks again
