Tw 150 roller motor

[swinny]

Hi there,

 

Just wondering if it is possible for the roller motor to leak?

 

Not sure yet if its just a pipe that needs nipping up or if motor itself is leaking? Will have to check

[roseyweb]

Yes

You can buy a seal kit which comes with instructions

It's easy to do but fidderly

Its not unheard of for the shaft seal to weep, its usually just an "O" ring and a cheap job to replace

[Breezeblock]

if its got oil in it theres a good chance it can leak

[swinny]

Lol thought so! Seems wet where the roller slide is, will investigate!

Hello,

If you thoroughly clean the motor first you should be able to identify if the leak is coming from the motor or the fittings. Once you have the source of the leak identified you can then decide what action to take.

Right ive had the machine stripped down for the last month or so! A guy at timberwolf says yes you can buy seal kits.

 

Mines an old eaton motor, motor works fine, no play, shaft seems ok so new seals should work.

 

All i require is x 2 seals and a brass washer/ shim and we are up and running again.

 

Timberwolf technical waste of time with this say can only fit new motor

 

Parta department today said they dont do them, cant order them either. Have to buy a new motor at 240.00 inc vat...

 

Thats crap if so! All for 2 seals.

 

Anyone else had any luck doing this?

Chris,I'm sure you've thought of this but most agricultural engineers would find this sort of thing child's play, maybe go to the place where I bought that GM. I reckon they'd sort it.

I got told these folk do the whole motor at a real good price if you can't get the seals
