entec hydraulic control repair

[markieg31]

Hi all I have a 98 entec twin feed, old style agricultural feed controls. 

 

The valve block, excuse the crass terminology here, control job feels like, after 20 years, is getting a bit crunchy and or loose. So I thought I would do something about it before it lets me down and therefor was hoping I could just overhaul it. 

Is that something that can be done easily. Can attach pics if necessary 

 

Many thanks Mark

Can you stick a picture up?

 

Is it in the linkages and pivots to the spool valve block? If so it maybe possible to drill out the pivots and replace with a large diameter bolt / pin than standard taking out the wear.

Its the bit circled that i want to service. Works but i think it is a bit worn.

Is that a 'bib' valve ?

If so the control valve end cap (the part with the lever and alloy housing) is readily available as is the detent on the other end of the spool..

If you are driving past a bearing / belt factor or hydraulic supplier swing the chipper up outside. They should be able to match it for you. As Jase says, should be readily available and won't cost that much.

From memory , the end cap is less than £30 and I doubt the detent is much more..

Looks like there is a detent mechanism in the rod to the red bar too. Strip that and look for wear as the detent springs/balls may be rusty/worn too. They should be pence from your local Timberwolf dealer too.
