I have an old 2k that I could use for a job and it quit workin on me. Went to start it up one day and it wouldn't quite engage when you pulled the lever, felt like it was catching on something. I also noticed the oil wasn't flowing through the sight glass anymore so i figured it probably wasn't something simple.
I tore into it today hoping to find something obvious but once I got the side cover off, I didn't see anything that stood out. I have the parts manual for this machine and I am wondering if anyone has had any similar problems. I pulled off the oil pick up tube and while it had some gunk in it, it wasn't clogged.
I am wondering if there is a way to spin the oil pump by hand and check to see if its working. There is also a small hydraulic cylinder that changes it from high to low gear, I am not sure if that is part of the problem, or how that gets oil. There is no diagram or anything in the parts manual for the oil pump in the column.
Any fresh ideas? Thanks
