Hi all.
I am trying to bring back to useful a grinder that I acquired more than twenty years ago.
The machine was working when I went to look at it but when it arrived at the factory it was not and everyone involved said "not me".
I stripped the machine to see what was wrong and found that some one had tried to bring the grinding head forward and didn't know when to stop stripping the rack and pinion drive. Only too easy to do as the pinion is driven by an 80 to 1 worm drive.
I started to fix it but things didn't go to plan and it has sat under cover till now.
I need knowledge such as what grade of hydraulic oil to use as what was in the tank was like treacle. Not at all like any oil I've seen used for hydraulics.
The machine is 40+ years old and I think the oil was too.
There was a growth of some sought in the tank as well.
An operator's manual and or maintenance manual is probably asking too much but there must be someone left out there with some ideas.
Here's hoping.
