Sometimes the valves and in the blocks get buggered. I would start there.

I found dumping the center tray on the header more often eliminated my hyd motor failures

You ever point one of those thermometer guns at it?

I am worried what they are going to do to Bourgault when they hit full stride.

Bourgault was far from perfect but I don't expect it to be run better in these hands.

Pulled a 10 inch cult sweep out of mine one day doing soybeans. That could have ended poorly ! More trouble with poor hyd swivel ends leaking than motors.

Linmar dumped the western combine corporation citing they were in the auto parts sector exclusively back in 1996. So why the change of heart? Gosh if they buy versatile they’ll be on their way to being a full line but probably run them into the ground and dump them.

The one thing that drives me crazy is the new 2 series header having completely different cutting components. Have to keep a whole new assortment of parts on hand.

WB tech says newest MacDon are giving Hyd motors trouble, old stuff runs forever...so far.

Must be a rookie. Cause lots of FD75’s and FD1’s that grenade a motor and ur into it for $10-15k. Not a matter of if but when on them headers…..

I was asking him about swathers, assumed they use similar parts?

2007 M150 at 2000 hrs here all original motors
