Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greenclimber" data-source="post: 6078240" data-attributes="member: 117040">Sounds good. I was just pricing motors and they are about $450 each... My thought was to check the pressure first, but I don't know how to do that... Actually,  I don't know where to connect an inline gauge. You just explained how to go about testing the pressure..... \I already tightened the belt. That seemed to help for about half the day... Then things seemed to go back to normal. Oh, and the problem seems intermittent. I have never taken the anvil all the way out to inspect it, but I did adjust it just the other day. Then some guys I was working with for the first time threw in some rocks with the leaves screwed the sharp knives and likely the anvil too. First time in the year that I've been using it that I've had this happen.(hydraulics has always been line this)I know where the relief valve is... I already switched the lines going from the top feed motor to the bottom like Altec said, but the problem didn't jump to the bottom motor, so I am assuming that is is the top motor... The bottom will still spin a little bit when the top one gets stuck, but not always...While it is tempting... I don't want to go and turn the relief valve without having the appropriate gauge in the right spot. I am thinking the pressure is off personally.... Altec said that the pressure should be at 2400.Thanks for the advice on checking the pressure. Just let me know where I should connect the gauge and I'll be in business.</blockquote>
