Do drive motors on track machines fail, yes they do, but not really that often. I maybe do three a year compared to 200 or so track machines I see on a regular basis. Generally what happens, the hub seal leaks out the hub end oil. The bearings run dry and go to hell. This throws off the preload on the rotating assembly thus wrecking the motor. Nomarlly, new motor, new cooler, a good system flushing and power Bob tach vavls if it has. Plus or minus $7000. Never had a pump wrecked. Bobcat has gotten real stingy on out of warranty claims and the rep you talked to just a middle man. I don't know exactly how the system works, but he is basically between a rock and a hard place. You being the rock, his higher ups being the hard place.</p></blockquote><p></p>
