FAE blown seal again

[tonyoz]

I am going to remove the motor and control box and take it to a hydraulic shop in my area. I talked to a tech. already and he said most of the time these motors are repairable. Good thing is that the shop will have at least a 1 year warranty.

Any updates on how you got on?

I got the motor out. Took the blown seal out and took the valve box off the motor. I didn't see any obvious problems other than the blown seal. I am going to change the bearings on the shaft that turns the belts, they are a bit noisy. I am going to take the motor in to a local shop on Friday. I am hoping that they actually find something wrong internally. If they don't find a problem in the motor, I guess I will have to take the Bobcat in to get inspected.
