oil cooler repairer needed

[david wood]

Hi

 

Can anyone help me find somebody who will repair an oil cooler for log splitter, no brand info as its a home built machine off ebay.

 

oil cooler is leaking a little, only 2 years old so no corrosion etc.

 

willing to post in uk.

 

or anyone who makes custom ones to size?

 

cheers

Might be cheaper to buy another generic oil cooler.

[david wood]

thats also an option if i could find a good custom maker so i can just send sizes/old one to them to replace. any suggestions for that also welcome.

I have an oil cooler on the shelf you can have cheap, it has a hydraulic driven fan unit

[david wood]

thanks treequip thats a great offer!

 

currently the cooler sits in a carrier which is in front of a engine driven fan inbetween engine and pump so gets plenty of cooling.

 

i almost think overcooled but somebody more clever on that kinda stuff may correct me.

There's a company in Aberdeen think there called aberdeen radiators ltd I used them before to recon my old L200 rad. But I think they also custom make as well. Might be worth a phone call

It was a few years ago I used them but they did a good job. Seems a strange company for them to buy I though they were just sparks and plumbers:blushing: shows what I know after leaving the building game

guessing irvines buy up good companies to be part of the group - sure means they can do a lot of different services - will give them a try all the same though.
