Which fluid did you use?

You’re correct! My bad! I’ve changed the YouTube title, and asked/reported to the mods to change the thread title

This is what I’m thinking... a “timer” of sorts! Did nothing but ruin the cutting board! That may be why there’s a big label on top of the head that states do not use for 30 seconds after initial start up! It might be giving those capacitors time to charge initially! No I never found anything like a switch on the shaft column! At one time while we were piddling with this, we got it to go full stroke! Which as mentioned above, Did nothing but ruin the cutting board! I have yet to find a drain plug in the tank holding the hydraulic fluid! So I might have to find a means to siphon it out!

for your viewing pleasure!

Thank you!!!! If your manual is different than the one he linked above, would you mind sharing? Thanks!

I’ve yet to find a manual... What the variables do is link then the length of the stroke! I’ll have to post a video on YouTube and put the link here so y’all can see what I’m talking about…

This is the adjuster, that seems to restrict the downstroke? I’ll check for what you’re referring to... mom away from the machine sonill post more later!

The problem now is the stroke length is only 1/4”! There’s a switch/dial on the head that makes it “adjustable”, but it’s not enough to go through saddle skirting?

Well it’s up and working per day! It was 220 volt instead of the 120 I was told! Only problem is the stroke is limited by a potentialmeter on the head! Most stroke I get is 1/4”! Which is ok, and could be a “safety measure”, but the cutting board I have has enough warp in it that it doesn’t go all the way through the leather... Is there a cutting board material available at Home Depot I can buy?

Supposedly this has been converted! I have the old board, that was replaced with what I’ve shown here! How would I determine if it was still on 3 phase?

I’m guessing you’re in Britain?

Ok so far, I got it out of the back of my pickup truck, and into a storage container! Ive removed all the panels to find quite I’d bit of oil in this pan below the cylinder! There was plenty of hydraulic fluid in the tank, so I put a 120v plug on it and it powered right up! the push button did NOT activate the press, so I’ve got to dig into that and see why! Anyone recognize this board? Am I supposed to have it on 220v? One have running the electric motor, that runs the pump, and the other half runningvthe actuator side? The guy I bought it from said it was wired directly, and the 80 year old that sold it to him said it had been converted from 3 Phase, to 120? The power cord had two ground wires twisted together and then a red and black? Sobwonder if it’s 220?

This isn’t mine, but just like mine!

I’m following, as I recently picked up a model A, and am clueless on the operation of it!

I just bought a type a clicker made by USMC It is labeled as a type a. Does anyone have any information/instructions about these? Hopefully I can upload photos…

I'm interested in the clicker! David 210-831-8764

Thank you!
