Hi all,
Wouldn't you know it...on the long holiday week with nightly grooming needs our groomer bbreaks down. It a mid nineties LMC 1800 with tiller and trackers on the back. The auxilary hydraulic circuit has a 7 valve set up for running the front blade and stuff on the tiller. Anyways, lots of hydraulic fluid has started coming out of the little weep holes on the black plastic ends of three of the seven valves.
I am assuming that 3 valves wouldn't fail at the same time so I'mtrying to figure out what is the origin of this problem. I first pulled apart the diverter valve thinking that it i isn't letting excess pressure to go back to the tank. Nope, All ok there.
I'm also wondering if even after I've fixed the source of the original problem, I'll still have to pull apart the leaking valves because the seals are permanently blown
That's as far as I've gotten. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Martin
