Kuhn Primor problem

[Rob Holmes]

The swivel chute on our has stopped turning, they hydraulic motor still turns.
It looks like the gear on the motor and on the chute have drifted apart as there is a bit of slop on the chute, is there anything I can do to tighten it up, or are there new shims or something I’ll have to get?

Any pictures? Has the movement been on the chute or the motor....ill have a look at ours shortly

 

[Rob Holmes]

On the chute

Could be teeth on the chute ours did the same we built them up with weld and used grinder to shape them up.
Have you tried moving chute by hand to see if it picks teeth up there is also keyway in sprocket on motor .

Can guarantee the teeth have stripped on the spout just weld and grind them done mine a few times takes a couple of hours.

As above. It's just a crappy mild steel set of gears. A ring on the spout itself, a gear on the motor and idler in between.
take it all apart and spot each tooth with the mig and tickle back with grinder

 

[Rob Holmes]

Is it a big job to strip down?

 

[Dave W]

No. Ring of bolts around the flange round the spout. 2 man job to lift it off, wants to topple over on you

 

[Dave W]

It's the sort of job that wants doing every year or so. If only to clean it out and get some grease in properly

Cheers guys, only 1 problem, I don’t have a mig welder, just an inverter welder, will that do the same job?

Any welder will do it. I just find it easier to "spot up" with a mig

Cheers @mengeleguru, it’s as good as new!
