Zipster ......

 

Daddy dave bought a new-used peice of equipment to expand his lawn maintance fleet, but this unit was purchased with a pre existing problem which needed to be addressed.

The left side wheel motor was leaking hydraulic fluid, this needed to be fixed ASAP to prevent further costly problems. You can see the fluid on the inside of the tire.

A new wheel motor was purchased(ouch)....

The removal of the old motor went smooth with the help of this hydraulic hub puller.....

And now we can see the cause of the leak a failed seal, daddy dave has plans to rebuild this wheel motor as to have one on hand if this problem occurs in the future, and the install of the new was easy as pie.
