cat 246 hydraulic fan motor seals

shawnseveras · Apr 22, 2020

so i recently found out about this forum via google search. and i found out that the seal atop the cooling fan motor could be replaced. i have a cat 246 and we were having a problem with the fan motor spraying oil all over the place when it reached a certain temperature. once pinpointed i did a search on google and came to these forums . it was a article about the same thing. only difference is i have the thing apart sitting on the table now and the seal is on the way from cat. the part number for the skid steer is ( 216-6163 MOTOR GP-GEAR ). that is the hydraulic fan motor. however the problem that i have atm is the red figure 8 seal that is just below the top of the motor and below it. attached is a picture of the broken seal. if anyone knows where i can get that seal i would really appreciate it. i mean (REALLY) appreciate it. i have searched high and low. i have tried cat , i called them, looked at the website,and tried google. i really dont want to sped 650$ for a new motor. this one just needs new seals....

Not a lot of ready info out there, a quick Google found this site that might have a parts breakdown if you enter your serial number.
There might also be something in the manual thread that will help; most links there point to Bobcat stuff, so here's a shortcut to the Cat stuff.
