Bit of a long shot but the combined knowledge of the forum never ceases to amaze.
Struck the log splitter up today to get some late in the season logs split. There was a whining sound from the pto gearbox/hydraulic pump. I checked the hydraulic fluid in the tank and it was aerated and that centre of a crunchy bar colour..
i changed the the gearbox oil, i changed the hydraulic oil, 55 flippin litres! New filter arrives tomorrow. I cant find any leaks in the hoses or connections.
oil still frothing up, whining sound still heard.
Bit stumped.
