tp 250 oil seals

[Stephen Blair]

hi guys, the seals are away on the bottom roller pump, any tips to taking it off the machine and doing the job. cheers stevie:001_smile:

Not meanin to be obvious but remember how you took it to bits always works for me.Use grease to hold the new seals in place when reassembling so they don't get squashed.Never seen a tp250 roller motor but done a few harvester head saw motors.

thanks jamie, i wont be touching it, my mates a mechanic so is wondering what holds the pump to the chipper, is there a spline that runs right through it, or is it just bolted on. he knows his stuff but would like a head up if he could.

Couldn't really say.Any one i've into was keyed with a shaft seal,which you usually wreck removing it.Then think its jist an o-ring on the hose side which needed grease to put back in coz it really thin.It's amazing what you can learn if you take your time dismantling it an place the bits on a bit of clean blue paper.Had to myself coz the specialist mechanic dude wasn't cheap!

cheers jamie, you might get a phone call with in the next few days if he gets stuck

pretty sure there on a woodrough key ? but that may off been another chipper

Now i think on it it's probably bolted on.The motors on my jensen are and the blades are held on with grub screws.You have to take blades off to get motor shaft through the hole in side of roller housing.Don't know if yours is similar.Am sure you'll suss it oot.
