Kubota Excavator Final Drive Motors & Travel Motors

Kubota compact excavators are common on jobsites where uptime and maneuverability matter, making a failed travel motor especially disruptive. Use the Kubota model selector above to reach the final drive listed for your machine. If more than one drive has been used on a model or the existing motor tag is unclear, our parts specialists can help compare the part number and specifications before shipment.

Common Kubota final-drive problems include worn gears, inoperable gearboxes, sprocket-related issues, fluid leaks and weak or slow travel. These symptoms can help determine whether the problem is on the hydraulic-motor side, the reduction side, or elsewhere in the travel system. Brand-new OEM-equivalent, highly durable replacement units are supported by fast U.S. shipping and our Lifetime Limited Warranty.

Popular Kubota final drive applications include KX121-3, KX91-3, KX71-3, KX121-3S, and KX040-4. The model selector above includes the full Kubota listing.

Kubota Final Drive Gearbox, Sprocket & Travel-Motor Problems

A Kubota final drive can fail on either the hydraulic-motor side or the gear reduction side. Gearbox noise, worn gears, leakage, abnormal sprocket movement and a track that becomes weak or slow are all reasons to investigate the drive rather than simply replace seals. Compare both travel sides and check for external hydraulic issues before installing a new unit.

If you need help matching a Kubota drive, save the old motor tag and part number and provide the full excavator model. Those details help distinguish similar-looking assemblies and reduce the chance of ordering the wrong replacement.
