Final Drive / Travel Motor for the Bobcat E35
The short version: the Bobcat E35 (and the closely related E32, E34 and E37) runs final-drive travel motor part number 6698127 — the OEM hydraulic motor is also stamped MAG-18V-350F-2, and you’ll see cross-references 6652841 and 7009147. Because Bobcat changed details across the production run, always confirm against your machine’s serial number before you order. Machine veering to one side, losing drive or leaking oil? Check the case-drain filter first — it’s behind ~90% of failures.
Does my E35 take the 6698127?
Most E35 / E35i / E35z machines take the 6698127 travel motor, which is shared across the Bobcat E32–E37 mini-excavator family. Earlier and later builds carry cross-reference numbers 6652841 and 7009147, and the bare hydraulic motor is marked MAG-18V-350F-2. The fittings bolt straight to the original mount. The only safe way to be certain is your serial number — send it to us and we’ll match the exact unit so you’re not paying to ship the wrong drive twice.

Symptoms your E35 final drive is failing
- Veering or pulling to one side on level ground — the classic sign one drive is down on power.
- Loss of drive speed / climbing power on that track.
- Screech, grind or whine from the drive — bearings or planetary gears.
- Oil weeping from the drive housing or outer seal.
- Gearbox running hot or vibrating through the track.
What causes E35 final-drive failure
Same story as every mini-ex: a clogged case-drain filter is behind roughly 90% of failures — replace it on schedule and you’ll likely never read the rest of this list. A weak charge pump that can’t release the internal brake is the #2 cause, followed by contaminated gear oil and worn seals.
Repair or replace?
Caught a seal leak early with the drive otherwise sound? A seal kit can be worth it. Bearing or gear noise, metal in the oil, or motor damage → fit a replacement 6698127 — rebuilding a hydro motor with labour gets close to the price of a new unit and a replacement gets you running faster.
Tell us your E35 serial number and we’ll confirm the exact final drive. Replacing tracks at the same time? See rubber tracks for the Bobcat E35 (300×52.5×84 / 320×52.5×84 wide) and our track adjusters and front idlers — sort the whole undercarriage in one go. New to tensioning? Read how to tension your rubber tracks (over-tension overloads the final drive).

FAQs
What final drive does a Bobcat E35 use?
Most Bobcat E35 machines use travel-motor part number 6698127, which is shared across the E32, E34, E35 and E37 mini excavators. Cross-reference numbers 6652841 and 7009147 also appear, and the bare hydraulic motor is marked MAG-18V-350F-2. Confirm against your serial number before ordering, as details changed across the production run.
Why is my Bobcat E35 pulling to one side?
Veering or crabbing to one side on level ground is the classic sign that one final drive is down on power. Drive straight on flat ground; if it pulls, suspect the final drive on the slow side. Check the case-drain filter first, as a clogged filter causes about 90% of final-drive failures.

Yes, part number 6698127 is commonly shared across the Bobcat E32, E34, E35 and E37 mini-excavator family. Always confirm against your machine serial number, as Bobcat changed some details across the production run.
