timberwolf feed roller probs

[Chris Sheppard]

Had similar happen a while ago and it was one of the wires somewhere between the switch and the relay rubbing on the bottom of the engine bay and earthing out. Put some tape round it and rerouted it a bit and it's been fine since.

Sounds like an electrical problem the hydraulics for the feed rollers is controlled by electrically operated valves since it will go one way and not the other it's unlikely to be a flow or rpm problem.

 

Make sure three is a live to and from the switch (when operated). From memory that live then goes to a latching relay, find that and check it, the relay supply then goes to the solenoid valve, check the connections on that and if all that's ok check the coil pack

 

If you are still struggling I will be back Friday morning, you can bring it over.

 

It could be an rpm problem - I'm sure some Timberwolfs will reverse the rollers at any revs (I assume the reverse electrohydraulic switching bypasses the stress control electronics). It would be my first check anyway, get it discounted before moving on to the electrics.
