Need to find a place that has or can get parts for my kawasaki MX80 swing motor. I need to rebuild it and have contacted many places and most dont have mx series parts.. Is there a suitable replacement for my motor??????? can someone help?
I found a great place that supplied me with a new rotating assembly for my kawasaki swing motor. they were great and priced very reasonable. http://www.hydraulicpartssupply.com/
Did you give Sunsource a try? http://www.sun-source.com/web.php/Detail/locations.html The Minneapolis locations rebuilds a lot of excavator pumps and motors.

They didnt list Kawasaki or Uchida in there line-up. http://www.hydraulicpartssupply.com/ had good knowledge of my motor and the parts I needed. I pulled the bad motor out that was Hacked together by the last rebuilder that was inside there. 3 pistons were oversized and honed to fit into assembly. when piston failed it damaged spool assembly by metal getting stuck inside. all to save a couple hundred bucks in parts. At least I know that the entire rotating assembly is new and all seals/bearings were replaced. I'm not saying all rebuilders cut corners but some do and I don't want to be the one that takes the chance.
Kawasaki is listed under "Piston Motors" on Sunsource's website. http://www.sun-source.com/web.php/Detail/hydraulics.html Glad you got the parts you needed and hopefully you can get it back together the right way and back up and running.
Had it together the day after I received the parts. runs like a new machine. most hydraulic motors aren't that complicated, just need to measure tolerences. most axial motors and pumps are drop in parts and go. valves can get a little complicated. the key is keep parts in the right order, reversing a part can destroy everything.
