Do you know where I can get the high presure motor shaft seal that sits behind the front motor cover? I have the UT49103

I seem to remember mine stating it had a lock to stop the ram from returning all the way back to save some travel time but I looked high and low and couldn't find anything. Ended up just putting a screw driver thru a hole on the lever to stop it but thats a bit of a pain. Did yours come with adjustable ram lock?

Place an appropriate block of wood behind the pusher. Limits return travel. Factory lock , is a collar on the guidebar that pulls the pusher head. Tapped hole & wing nut on stud .

Some comments on other videos recommend a 20 amp breaker. Do you find you need one??..or is 15 just fine?

Too slow

[@johndoe5061]

Looks really slow and useless

[@trwilkinson4623]

Could be the hydraulic oil needs topped up, or the pump is worn, or the lever is not open valve correctly. Guessing !

They’re useless
