[873skid]

Any suggestions on replacing drive motor on Bobcat LT 313 trencher. It leaks and dealer told me it needs new motor which are real expense brand new from Bobcat. Bobcat part # 7116831. Does anyone know of company that rebuilds them or salvage yard that might have used motor.

I found a motor for my LT313 trencher at a good price and when I went to install it I found out the output shaft on new motor was 1.65" diameter and old motor was 1.5" so it doesn't fit. Anyone have any experience with this. The part # are the same and everything else fits. Did Bobcat make changes in the shaft size on newer model? Any chance I could swap shafts? Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Likely that the part changed at some point. One vendor's listing for a replacement motor says "Serial Number Breaks Apply". You may have found the reason for the good price.
