Snow Plow Pump Motor for Meyer E57 E57H E60 E60H 12V CW Replaces 15829 15841 15727 15869

This is the motor half of a Meyer plow pump. When the angle ram stops moving or the lift dies halfway up, nine times out of ten it is this motor, not the pump. It spins the hydraulic pump that raises and angles the blade. Twelve volts, clockwise, and it bolts to Meyer E-series and V-series pumps.

The numbers. Field housing measures 115mm across, 4.5 inches, and the whole unit runs 168mm long. Two posts on the back, 5/16-24, one for power, one for ground, and the ground side is isolated from the case. Double ball bearings on the armature. The drive face has two oval recesses pressed into it, and that matters, because the pump coupling locates on those. Weight is 6.7 kilos. There is a drain plug in the housing you can reposition when the motor gets clocked differently on certain pumps.

Which motors it replaces: Meyer 15829, 15841, 15727 and 15869. Diamond sold the same unit as 15689. Iskra built some of the originals, part AMJ4739. Western lists W-5692, W-5690 and W-5698, lift gate suppliers use AMT0354, and SAM's number is 1306007. Same motor, every one of them.

Pumps it fits: Meyer E50, E57, E57H, E58, E60, E60H, E61, E68, E78, E88 and V66, plus the Fenner Fluid Power pumps that share the design. One caution on the old E-60. The earliest single-post motors had the ground through the case. This one is a dual-post motor, so on those old units you run a jumper ground cable, Meyer part 15811, from the second post to the pump. Newer dual-post pumps need nothing extra.

Before ordering, check two things. Rotation has to be clockwise looking at the drive end. And measure your old motor: 4.5 inches across the field housing, about 6.75 long. If yours is the smaller 4 inch diameter motor, that is a different part number family.

Swapping it is a driveway job. Disconnect the battery, pull the two cables off the posts, unbolt the motor from the pump, ease it out of the coupling. Clean the mounting face, seat the new motor, bolts back in, cables on the right posts, ground last. Most installs run half an hour or less.

Why they die. Salt water sits in the brush plate all summer, the brushes hang up, and the first cold night the motor just clicks. Bearings rust, windings corrode. A failed plow motor never fails in July, it fails in the storm, and a genuine replacement costs well over a hundred dollars plus the wait.

Twelve month replacement warranty. You get the motor with the drain plug fitted. Cables and mounting hardware are not included, reuse what is on the truck.
