  • The UHI UME 12 Mini Excavator has a leaking seal on the travel (track) motor. This video is a 'how to' style.
    Replacements parts were supplied under warranty from UHI Machinery.
    As noted in the video, genuine EATON parts may not fit the chinese made drive motor as shown.
    Check out my other videos on using the UHI UME 12:

    Ive got a seal kit coming from UHI for my UME12, so I'll probably be doing this next weekend. Great video, now I know what to do, 👍👍👍

    Good job. I'm thinking you may want to purchase a few more of those seal kits, if one went bad more may go bad.

    That's not an oil leak, it's a rust protection system.

    Yeah it’s a common issue. Easy to fix. Hardest part is getting the track on and off. Make sure you get the right seal kit for it and don’t listen to the video on CZcams who uses a automotive seal , the seal will fit but it will fail in no time

      When I took the old seal out it was hard and came apart. I thought the hardness may be because it was under pressure from the hydraulic pump but since have read that within the drive motor there is little pressure. Cheers Dave.

    Thank you for posting this. Have the same issue on mine and was psyching myself up to do it as I wasn’t sure what to expect but you have shown it’s simple! Legend!

      It took me some time because I was trying to video the process, but it is not that hard. Just keep everything CLEAN! I was thinking the oil would come out when the cover was removed, but being elevated on that side and the pump not running it wasn't an issue. Cheers Dave.

      @@TreeChangeFarmer Well managed to get some time to do it yesterday and all went without a hitch! That method you showed on how to remount the track also worked very well - first time! Once again - thanks!

    You really get surprised at which places they save money in their designs. I have a small 50hp tractor from china and you also have to refill the engine oil through a breather on top of the valve train...

      When I looked at the newer models, they have added a proper filling point for the hydraulic oil. Cheers Dave
