[treequip]

Ok so is that a replacement job or are there parts I can change?

I will get on to the place I got it from if that's the case

What make is it?

 

Any ID on the pump?

[bikewoo]

Nope, when the system is warm the oil is less viscous and any wear in the pump is accentuated

 

I ment to say if it was being used in cold conditions, in relation to oil flow. As oil was my first thought.

Not sure on the make, it's from Rock machinery the 12t petrol one

Before we get in front of ourselves, I would get the pressure checked to confirm the diagnosis

 

Is it one of these machines?

Log Splitters

If it is you might be best getting a replacement pump from them

[jjll]

Yes, it's like that one but it's the model before that.

How would I check the pressure, or is it best to leave it to someone who has the right stuff?

Cheers for the replies

Yes, you could probably find what you need on ebay but I would take it to a hydraulic specialist, that probably means not pirtek

Hi tree, how would you test the pump? What would you need?

You would fit a "tee" into the service (the pipe that makes the ram go out) and put a suitable gauge on the spare part of the tee.

[bikewoo]

Am I right I thinking the size of gauge depends on the size of the pump?

Yes its the pressure range of the pump and the gauge that need to be matched
