Old Entec chipper

Hi guys,

 

ive never really been into mechanics and through the grace of god I had an old chipper for years that I just poured diesel in and it worked fine (once sharpened the blades ;).  Terrible I know but it was just always something else to do.   I’ve now got an old entec I bought off flea bay a while back.  Been running good up until last week when the hydraulic fluid pissed out.  Is this a major or minor fix if the hydraulic motor is knackered...if it is that????   I’ve no idea about these modern things 😁
 

cheers

There is a tech section for Timberwolf which they monitor and respond to. Sounds to me like you oil pump or a motor could be cavitating - frothing up the oil as one or other is not working properly. Is the oil milky or clear? If it is milky, capture a sample and leave it in a jar overnight and if it clears, it is milky with air bubbles.  If the separation shows a tiny bit of water, then water has got into the system somehow.
