Timberwolf 150 in feed problem

[Hinchy]

Hi guys,

 

Had an issue with the reverse feed on my timberwolf 150 chipper which turned out to be a broken wire on the switch. However, a couple of days later the in feed decided not to work. I managed to bypass the switch with a bit of wire so we could get the job done but now I can't work out where the issue is coming from. I have replaced the in feed switch with a brand new one and that hasn't worked. The reverse works fine but not the forward. Having read some old posts would any of the other switches be the cause or could it be something else, relay?

 

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Before you go any further and start changing bits put a leccy tester on the terminals of the hydraulic directional valve. If there is power to  it in both directions there may well be a solenoid issue.

Silly suggestion, but are the revs high enough?

Could be wire has broken down some were, so run new wire and see.

Revs don't seem to have changed so I don't think it's that. Fairly confident it will be an electrical fault somewhere it's just trying to work out what. Might try going round with the leccy tester and see what's what. Is there a wiring diagram anywhere for the control unit?

Should be wiring diagram in manual if you have one.
