Tube roller died mid job on a 48 inch shell in Gary, Indiana
Was rolling a 48 inch carbon steel shell last Tuesday when the hydraulic pump on our old tube roller started screaming and dumped fluid all over the shop floor. Ended up finishing the last two passes by hand with a come along and a lot of cussing, which took 5 hours instead of 20 minutes. Anybody got a fix for a pump that keeps blowing seals, or am I looking at a full rebuild?
