New member, help wanted with processor.

Hi all,

I have been viewing this site from afar and have now taken the step and joined. I have found it to be a useful source of info, ideas and general chit chat. And now I could do with a bit of help if possible!

I'm self employed working on farms during the busy periods (spring and summer) and then fill in with various things to keep busy, one being doing logs in the winter. I buy in cord and process it down, 4-5 arctic loads I guess a year. Not masses but fills in time and is slowly expanding.

I'm pretty lucky that my old boss used to do logs and still has his old japa processor in the yard where I keep my wood. It's a 90's machine so not the newest and worked hard in its time but makes my life easier! Not sure of the model but has the saw blade.

And this is where I could do with some help. After chopping the log it drops into the splitter bit where the ram pushes it through the splitter. Well the ram no longer wants to fully retract automatically, and gets slower coming back as you use the machine. You can override it with the manual leaver. I just wonder if anyone could point me in the direction of someone who could help me or maybe even come and service it. I think the linkages may be worn and someone who knows what there looking at will probably be more use than me scratching my head!

I'm based in north kent.

Many thanks for reading this and hope someone can help.

Thanks. Well if you have time at some point that would be amazing!

It is a japa 1700 from 1997.

Had crap build up under the splitting ram between it and the casing before and had it out but it was struggling more then and making a horrible sound when it it went in and out which it is not doing this time. Just gets slower as you use it. Could be the filter. Is there just the one in the tank and where is the best place to get one?

Thanks
