This is the pump that I use on my 37hp Yanmar (sailboat) and on my 743. Facet FEP304SV Posi-Flo 12 volt Fuel Pump Kit, 1/8 NPT Ports, 1 to 2 psi Maximum Pressure It works great. Make sure that your hose clamps are correctly sized. If they are too big, they won’t seal properly. Oetecker crimp...

Here is the pump I have installed on my 743 and on my 38 hp Yanmar sailboat engine. Available from Amazon for $66.14. Mine is mounted to the left of the motor, on the engine compartment bottom, directly below the injector pump. Works well for me. Good luck! Facet FEP304SV Posi-Flo 12 volt Fuel...

Merci Dameon. Le motor travel est le problem.

Try amazon. Readily available there in the US. I have a new rule after replacing caps and filters a couple of times. Caps and strainers need to be set on the machine when servicing. Not the tires.

The after market final drive or travel motor fixed my drive issue. I’m guessing that the needle bearing in the gearbox went bad. I haven’t had time to disassemble it. The replacement is a little slower. I would like to have the original rebuilt but haven’t found a shop to do it.

Many thanks!

Hey wwb, Could you tell the rest of us what it was?

Oh, also I’m pretty sure that the needle bearing in the drive motor went bad, separating the drive gears. I’ve experienced similar in my old MG when losing the layshaft. The seal was intact between the hydraulic drive and gearbox, so no contamination of the hydraulic system.

Thank you for your reply. I replaced the final drive with an aftermarket from finaldrivemotors.com. $1450. Vague instructions came with it but customer service was great. It is a bit slower than the original but got me back in service. I am trying to have the original drive motor rebuilt but so...

The inside is the hydraulic side. The outside is the gearbox. There is a seal between them. If it were leaking out of the outside, it would mean the seal was leaking. It sounds like you have a straight up hydraulic leak. Remove the protective cover from the inside at the rear of the track. On...

Is the leak on the inside side of the travel motor or the outside? If it’s coming from the outside side, it may be a bad seal between the drive motor and gear case side of the assembly.

Thanks for the suggestions. Much appreciated. At 2500 hrs my E26 has had a weak right side for the past 200 hours. It finally quit last week. Right track does not rotate manually when lifted. Left track rotated and made a zzz sound as it went around (I stood on the end of the track to do the...

The right side of my E26 hasn’t seemed 100% since I bought it 180 hours ago. Yesterday, the right track stopped working. If I lift the right side, I can rotate the track by standing on the idler. If I lift the left side, I cannot rotate the track. Do I need a new final drive ie. Travel motor...

Please let us know how your repair goes. My E26 has minor power issues at 2500 hours. Many thanks!

I found not one but two hand fulls of sediment in my mid 80’s diesel tank. Need to tackle the hydraulic tank next. It had a rag instead of a cap when I bought it.
