Lubrication hose/pump on Farmi WP36

[Woodworks]

Hi all

 

Anyone know what type of hose is used on the oil pump on the Farmi WP36? It works a bit like a peristaltic pump so it fairly special hose. Cant get hold of Riko and could do with the part tomorrow! Thanks

Dare I ask the price?

WP spares seem to have gone up massively.

£12.18 including postage. Thats for a meter.

 

Always understood it's some special pipe that was expensive so hope they are sending the right stuff

Worth getting some in for the spares box. Would rather convert to pumped bar oil to be honest. Hydraulic oil cant be the best bar lube and you only get one squirt per operation so if cutting big that cant be good. With bars costing over £200 you dont want excess wear

Already converted mine. Sometimes use bio and other times regular chain oil. 

 

"With bars costing over £200 you dont want excess wear " what? Think my latest is a Husky bar and cost £30

You must have the oldstyle with wedge mount. They have been fitted with harvester bars for a long time.

It came with the harvester bar but I didn't get on with it and swopped back. The harvester bar is thicker so more prone to jamming in the cut than the old system

 

This was the oil conversion
