Wheel Motor for 425

[stray]

Guys when i broke the wheel motor out from under the front of my 422 2003 model I went to power-trac and paid 318.00 tax and all for a new one. That was what? About 2 months ago.

Stray,

I think that's the retail price differences between the White RS and White CE series motor. The CE series is a heavier-duty, compact (i.e. short and fat) motor, with a 1.25" tapered hub instead of 1", tapered roller bearings instead of thrust bearings (so it handles higher sideloads) and is also rated for about twice the PSI (rated for 3,000 PSI)...

Yes, I would agree. I got a price quote from a distributor also for the "RS" series motor on the older PT425s and it was $226 plus shipping with 3 day delivery.

The distributor also told me White Hydraulics increased prices at the beginning of August 2007.

For price comparison, I paid $358 each plus shipping for the Char-Lynn S-series that I special-ordered. They are not as heavy-duty as the White CE motors, having 1" shafts and thrust bearings, but are more powerful and efficient than the White RS that's on it. I didn't want to either fabricate or buy new wheelmotor mounting boxes and new wheel hubs to convert up to the 1.25" shafts. So, the Charl-Lynn S series was somewhat of a compromise...

Actually the Char-Lynn S series is a bit more efficient geroler, instead of geroter like the White motors, either RS or CE. For example the S series generates 5199 in lbs of torque and 74 RPM at 8gpm flow of 1500 PSI, whereas the slightly larger White CE series 22.8ci generates 4453 in lbs of torque and 76 RPM.

I'm anxious to get them installed and see what they do. An old friend is going to install them sometime in the next few weeks at his convenience, so they'll be ready for me to "test drive" on my next trip to TN...
