Excavator Propel Motors: The Hydrostatic Heart of Undercarriage Drive

Propel motors convert hydraulic flow into the rotational force that powers your excavator’s travel. When internal pistons lose tolerance, bearings fatigue, or seal packs leak, you’ll notice sluggish crawl, uneven track speeds, or overheating under load—symptoms that translate into lost production and higher fuel burn. VI Equipment stocks complete excavator propel motors—housing, rotor group, pistons, bearings, and seals—that bolt straight in to restore factory‐spec travel torque and responsiveness.

Reman & Brand-New Propel Motors for John Deere, Hitachi & Caterpillar

Whether you need a Nabtesco motor for a Deere 135G, a Rexroth unit for a Hitachi ZX250, or a Kawasaki drive for a Cat 320, we catalogue propel motors by model, serial prefix, and OEM part number so matching takes minutes. Reman motors are stripped, magna-fluxed, and rebuilt with new piston kits, tapered-roller bearings, and high-temperature seal packs—delivering OEM flow and torque at roughly 60 % of dealer cost. Brand-new aftermarket motors feature forged alloy-steel components, precision-ground rotors, and multi-lip Viton seals, all backed by a 12-month unlimited-hour warranty.

Diagnosing Propel-Motor Wear Before You Get Stranded

Listen for whining or grinding under load, feel for shaft play at the sprocket end, or inspect case-drain oil for metallic sludge—early warning signs of internal wear. Rising undercarriage oil temperatures at idle and fluctuating travel pressure under steady throttle also point to bypass. Pull your magnetic drain-plug sample or record a short video of the noise and email it to our parts desk; we’ll advise whether a seal-kit refresh, partial rebuild, or full motor swap offers the best ROI.

In-House Propel-Motor Rebuilds: Precision Balancing & Dyno Testing

Our Langley hydraulic lab completes most propel-motor rebuilds in five business days. We strip and clean every component, replace bearings and seals, and balance the rotor assembly to ISO 1940 Grade G2.5. Each motor is then run on a 300 hp travel-stand dyno where we log torque output, case-drain flow, and temperature rise at 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, and 100 % load. A printed performance report ships with every motor so you know it meets spec before it goes back under your tracks.
