I have a 1989 Accurshear 25010, meaning it will shear 10' of 1/4" plate.
I've been plagued with this problem since I bought it used from Roush Racing 5 or so years now.
The problem is that when it warms up outside, it quits working, I will use it for 15 - 30 minutes, it will run normal, then I will hit the pedal and it will start giving a delayed reaction before the hold down pistons come down allowing it to shear.
So, the motor will start up and run just fine, nothing changes with that, its just when I hit the pedal, it wont respond, the plungers wont come down and it wont shear.
I've had the authorized Accurpress repair guy, he changed the pumps and other valving, when he left it worked just fine, but same thing, it failed on a warm summer day, so he said I should replace the oil and do a flush, I did that, with same results, I had my electrician out that works in control panels in industrial plants all over MI, he couldn't find the problem.
I dont use the shear everyday, but I do use it on a consistent basis through out the year and this only happens when its warm outside and it been doing this approximately 5 years now.
