• Contact AGT Chicago
  Some users recommended reaching out to AGT in Chicago, USA, which reportedly stocks hydraulic drive motors specifically for the H‑12 and related mini excavator models. This should be the first point of inquiry.
  
• Disassemble and Compare
  If the exact motor model is unknown, it is advised to remove the existing motor and measure its dimensions and details. Then compare photos and data with suppliers or original Chinese parts catalogs to confirm model compatibility.
  
• Check Hanix H12A OEM Parts
  The Hanix H12A is very similar to the AGT H‑12, and many suppliers (like TVH) offer spare parts for it, including hydraulic motors, filters, and track components, which can be ordered or used for cross-reference.
  
• Wide Range of Spare Part Suppliers
  Websites such as Mini Excavator Centre (UK), L&S Engineers, TVH, ExcavatorParts.org, and others stock H‑12 series parts like pins, bushings, tracks, and motors. These platforms provide multiple replacement options.
  

✅ Practical Recommendations Summary

• Prioritize contacting AGT Chicago to check for available complete hydraulic motors in stock.
  
• Remove and identify the existing motor’s model for precise part searching across multiple sources.
  
• Investigate Hanix H12A parts as many components are interchangeable.
  
• Use international parts distributors and platforms such as TVH, Mini Excavator Centre, and ExcavatorParts.org as supplementary options.
  
• If the above avenues do not yield results, consider contacting Chinese manufacturers or parts suppliers for custom replacements.
