hydraulic oil on feed rollers

[aspenarb]

The seal on the shaft that you can see is only a case seal, as in it shouldn't be getting any pressure behind it. Its not unusual for wire and crud to get in there an chew up these seals, worth putting a new seal in and see how it goes. Certainly worth changing the hydraulic filter because its a filtered return system so if blocked could increase the hydraulic motors case pressure.

Typical of the sort of crap you can find around the motor shaft.

Hydraulic motors are ridiculously cheap from Flowfit too. They’ll match whatever is fitted.

Be wary as their stuff tends to be chinesium build!

I’ve never had any issues with their kit tbh, and have a couple of motors that will have done 1000 hours plus on a chipper.

Fair enough. Was going to buy one of their manual hydraulic hand pumps, but was warned off from several sources about inferior build quality

I’ve had a lot of stuff off them over the last few years (including a replacement 12v tipper unit for an ifor williams trailer at a bargain price, a number of complete rams for various kit I’ve had fabricated, big cetop operated valve blocks to set up radio control on a bandit chipper, loads of hoses and fittings, new electromagnetic coils they have identified from photos etc etc) and it has all been top notch stuff. Nothing has ever arrived that I felt was of poor quality - quite the opposite to be honest. And they are really helpful on the phone too.
