I searched parts and reviews for a replacement for my plow pump motor. The plow is a Fisher Minute Mount 2, three plug. I have had the plow for at least ten years, maybe 15.I hooked up the plow and it wouldn't move. All I heard was a relay clicking when I activated the controls. I move the plow to my work shop by jacking the plow up from underneath and repositioning the chain so that the plow frame, with the hydraulic piston in the down position, held the plow high enough for me to move it with the truck.I serviced the plow pump - hydraulic fluid, filter, seals, etc. and after servicing I could hear a relay clicking but the pump would not move. Disappointed, I discovered that the pump motor was not working.I pulled the pump motor and everything was badly rusted - the motor was seized. I removed the armature, lubed the bushings, reassembled, and nothing but the relay clicking... My fault for poor maintenance.Be careful when you remove the motor bolts. They are steel, a bit longer than the pump motor, and bolt into the aluminum pump housing. One of mine snapped and left about two inches of broken bolt sticking out of the pump. I was able to remove mine using a torch and penetrating oil. I sprayed it, tapped it gently with a hammer, worked it gingerly, and talked nicely to it. I was able to back it out using channel lock pliers! DO NOT TRY TO DRILL IT OUT! Attempting to drill out hard steel in soft aluminum can easily ruin the pump housing. Youtube has videos on how to remove a broken steel bolt in aluminum using a mig welder, a steel washer, and nut. I don't have very good welding skills and fortunately didn't have to use this method. I was lucky.After removing the old motor I found that there was a gasket between the motor and pump and I scraped it away with a screw drive, cleaned it up and was ready to install after I got a new gasket. Try as I could, I could not identify a gasket either on this site or in any of the fisher plow parts sites or parts diagrams. I finally got a tube of Permaflex 2 Form-A-Gasket.Naturally, in the mean time we got a heavy, wet snow here in New Hampshire over the weekend of December 5th, 2020 and my plow was sitting outside of my work shop, out of action.I used the form-a-gasket to seal the bottom of the motor and pump. There are detentes on the top and bottom of the motor to position it and the motor cover in the correct position so that the new bolts that come with the motor align with the threaded holes in the pump housing. The motor comes with a plastic retention that holds the motor together during shipment. I removed the bolts, retention, and top motor cover. The top of the armature has a felt washer topped with a steel washer. The armature will easily slide out of the motor when placing it on the pump so I supported the armature by holding the top of the shaft while positioning the motor on the pump. If it drops you will have to push the four brushes back to put the armature in place.The threaded holes in the pump housing are about a half inch deep in the housing. They do not go all the way through. Be careful not to over-tighten when reassembling.The replacement motor has connectors that are high on the motor. The original motor had one that was high and one that was low. The position of the connectors was not a problem. The rear terminal was ground and had two other wires that attached to crimp terminals under the heavy ground wire from the power plug. I think they were 10 gauge and 16 gauge wires. The forward terminal was the 12vdc lead. The heavy power cable connectors came off fine and after cleaning them up with some 200 grit sand paper were ready to be reconnected. The two smaller ground terminals broke off. I had to replace them with new crimp on terminal that needed to be big enough for to attach to the large ground terminal on the motor. I don't know what size it was but the nuts required a 1/2 inch wrench to tighten them.Once I got the new terminals crimped on and the motor reconnected the pump worked flawlessly. The new motor seems to use less amperage than the original motor as I see less dimming of lights when power is applied to the pump.I hope that others find this information helpful when replacing their pump motor. I have only used it to clean up after this one storm but so far, so good!

I had a very hard time changing the motor mostly due to inexperience. However it was not as difficult as I made it. It works great and is very high quality I am very happy with the product and the price. I would recommend it highly.

Like others have stated, this is a direct fit replacement for the Fisher minute mount 2 plow pump. I could hear the relay clicking in my truck with any button push, while the plow would not move.I only plow my driveway so I’m hoping this pump will be that last I need to buy.UPDATE: After one off season, the plow was again nonresponsive, But it was an easy fix. I discovered the 4 pump motor brushes (shown in reference picture) had slightly corroded and were no longer free to move. These brushes need to move to maintain proper electrical contact to the spinning motor rotor.The Fix: Without removing the motor from the pump, only remove the top two mounting bolts and the top cover can be removed, exposing these 4 brushes. I simply cleaned and lubed the 4 brushes with dielectric grease and the plow works flawlessly again. To be fair, I installed this motor in the middle of a snowstorm and did not take the time to check if these brushes were originally assembled with lube.I would suggest only removing the cover while the motor is installed on the pump. This keeps the rotor from falling out of the main body and having to fight these 4 bushes to get the rotor back in place.Time will tell if this problem will return but it’s a quick fix now understanding the problem.I plan to purchase a plow cover or a simple grill cover to keep the plow out of the weather when not in use.

It doesnt matter which post is positive or negative. Yet my plow needed a new motor. Why pay over two hundred dollars when you can get one for $60 new! Mine was brand new. Granted it was made in China. Yet it is the same as what I took off my Fisher Plow.

Box came beat up, parts were bent. Ordered replacement and it came the same way!

The original motor on my 2005 Western snowplow quit working while I was out plowing. I found this DB Electrical 430-20054 Snow plow motor that was a compatible replacement. It arrived in 2 days. I had the new motor installed in about 30 minutes and it works great. I would definitely buy from them again.

I buy these as a replacement for my fisher plow motor. Fraction of cost as a fisher motor from Napa. Only problem is never fail they only last 2 seasons for me. On my third motor. But even replacing 3 times it’s still cheaper than 1 stock motor

Carton was totally smashed open when motor arrived, plastic armature retainer was broken, and nut and washer were off of one stud. Motor fit perfectly and once I determined the polarity of the terminals it operated perfectly. Good product, shipping carton and packing-not so much. 3 stars because of arrival condition, otherwise, it would have been more.
