863F hose leaks

[Tlawdogg]

I have what looks to be one to two hoses leaking on the Right side pump area. The right side is barely moving. My question is would a small hydraulic hose leak cause the complete slow down or am I also looking at a pump issue? Thank you for any tip, or advice. Newbie -T

I have never had a small leak cause any issues like this, but it's always possible it allowed air to be drawn in causing issues, but i'd suspect that would be replaced when running.
The most common drive power issue is bad seals in the drive motors.
Personally, i'd pull the motor and inslect it. Another way is to swap motors from side to side, but they are heavy, yet it's a way to know for sure if it is a motor or the pump.

Newbie question then. Which is the pumps and motors? I have the side cover off on the right side. Is that a pump just inside the cover? Thank you. -T

It is labeled Eaton and has a serial number.

That is the motor behind the cover between the wheels

Okay, got it. If I am going to remove it . Should I just rebuild it (new O Rings?. I just saw a short video on U tube. I do not have "Caps" for the hoses. I need to look into that today. Prevent drain out and prevent dirt & crap out. Any "Kit" recommended? Thanks.

Okay, the Right motor drive. The two very large nuts where the two large hydraulic hose connects. It is leaking from the front top one.***Where it mounts into the Motor not where the hose connects. Is there an O Ring on those?? And the hose (smaller single one) connected to same Motor has a pretty good leak(hole in hose). All to same motor . I will pull the leaking hose to replace. Need Expertise on the nut that mounts into the top of the motor drive. Hope I am describing it correctly. Thank you.. -T

I have removed the Right side drive motor . The two large connectors at the top were removed ( One was leaking at top ). For any Newbies like me. There are Two O-Rings on them. One for where the hose connects and one where it screws into the drive motor. I took the drive motor apart. The seals were in bad shape. Two of the smaller seals were just pieces of rubber.(No Seal) This explains the lack of power on the right side when going forward and reverse. I have removed three hoses which had leaks. Going to get those hopefully today. I will update after I get hoses and seal kit. -T
