KentT said:I've been researching these Char-Lynn S-series motors a bit more, and I'm a bit confused. It seems they only come with 1" splined or 7/8" or 1" straight shafts with a woodruff key -- and no lock nut.
I'd have sworn my wheel motors on my Dec 2000 model 425 have 1.25" tapered shafts with a woodruff key, and a locknut. I'm fairly certain they have a locknut on the wheel hub. Since my PT is in Tennessee and I'm in Mass -- I can't easily confirm that they're 1.25". They certainly have the "serrated type" locknuts, as you can see in this photo.

I thought mine came with White 400 series wheel motors also...
Maybe I should try calling Terry to see if he can/will tell me....

Those S-series motors are the 103-xxxx. and they run about $294.00 each. We still don't know the cu in motor you had, and what the new motors cu in . are.
KentT said:JJ,
If you don't mind me asking, where are you seeing these prices on the S-series motors? The lowest I'm seeing is at Surplus Center -- at $319, as I recall. Then, I'd still have the issue of wheel hubs to deal with...
Thanks!
Thanks for the tip. If I'm reading the specs correctly those RS motors are VERY low RPM motors. I need something that'll turn in the 80-120RPM range or thereabouts, at ideally 8GPM and 1500PSI.Rivco said:Kent
If you go to the WHITE HYDRAULICS web site and look at the new WR 255 series motors ( 255-200-F30-10-AAAAA ) 12.3 displacement and compare them to the RS 200 series motors ( 200-200-F30-10-AAAAA ) 12.5 displacement you will find that the new WR series are a perfect match up to the RS motors - mounting holes, 1" shaft, etc. plus you get approx 40% more torque at a higher PSI.(figuring in my head ) for less than $300.00 ea.

KentT said:Rivco, those are max rates, both in RPM, torque and flow. The PT will not produce the maximum GPM flow that the motors will handle, consequently it won't produce those max RPMs.
With that said, I was incorrectly reading the chart -- I confused the flow rate in the table between liters-per-minute and gallons-per-minute. The results are much better, around the 100 RPM range at 8GPM at 1500 PSI. The only remaining challenge is that I need either 1.25" tapered shafts OR new wheel hubs that would fit those smaller 1" shafts.
