How to Identify Your Final Drive Part Number

MOVO Hydraulics · Final Drives & Gearboxes · Updated Sep 5, 2026

If you're here, you probably have a machine down — or you're ordering ahead — and you need to know exactly which final drive, travel gearbox or swing gearbox you have. Getting the part number right is everything. Order by the wrong number and you get the wrong unit, a machine that stays down longer, and a return headache on a heavy, expensive part.

Here's the reliable way to identify it, in order.

1. Find the part number on the unit itself

The most accurate number is the one stamped or tagged directly on the gearbox. Look for a metal tag or a stamped area, usually on the gearbox housing near the fill plug, or on the mounting flange.

If the tag is worn or missing, snap a clear photo of the whole unit and any visible numbers — that's enough to cross-reference.

2. Match your machine model to the machine series

Your excavator's model (e.g. CAT 320, Deere 210G, Komatsu PC210) narrows it down fast. Final drives are sized to the machine: a 20-ton excavator uses a different gearbox than a 50-ton one. Tell us the machine model and track/undercarriage size if you know it.

3. We cross-reference it (OEM + Bosch Rexroth)

Here's how the replacement world works: the OEM number gets a Bosch Rexroth cross-reference number (e.g. an R986- series), which is the standardized replacement. We carry both the OEM match and the cross-reference, so you don't need to know the Rexroth number yourself — we verify the match to the machine. Our catalogue is searchable by OEM number, Rexroth number, or machine model.

Tip: Send us a photo of the old unit or its tag on WhatsApp — we'll identify it and quote it, usually the same day.

What you need to send us

  1. The part number off the gearbox (even partial, or a few numbers from the tag).
  2. The machine model (e.g. CAT 320, Deere 210, Komatsu PC210).
  3. Whether it's a travel (boom) or swing (rotation) gearbox if you know it.
  4. A photo if practical.

Questions

Where is the part number on a final drive?

Usually on a metal tag or stamped into the housing near the fill plug or mounting flange. It's often upside-down or in a tight spot — a photo helps.

Can you match it if I don't have the number?

Yes. With the machine model and a photo of the unit, we can cross-reference it to the correct OEM and Bosch Rexroth number.

What does the Bosch Rexroth number mean?

It's the standardized replacement cross-reference for the OEM gearbox. Many OEM numbers map to a single Rexroth unit, which is what the aftermarket stocks.

Are these genuine OEM parts?

We carry new, quality replacement units cross-referenced to OEM. Contact us for availability and pricing on your exact part.
