Neuson 1001 dumper creeping

[Giles]

Noticed on the dumper today it’s creeping forward in gear or neutral have to flick brake switch and it holds but before it didn’t creep,

Was loaded and was on a slope,

Where to start? Hydraulic adjustment anywhere ? Does it have actual brakes or just in the motors.

And while we are on it brakes on 3 ton thwaites sounding bad and crunching a bit and letting it forward again in steep slope and loaded.

Is it big job on the thwaites? Seen kits on eBay for £450 ish for series of disc etc.

Could well be the heat, thinning the oil. If you don't know when the hydro oil was last changed, I'd start there.

Two different set ups on Neuton and Thwaites.

Neuson will creep if in forwards or reverse mine always has. But in neutral it should put the brake on itself after a few seconds it will creep until the brake comes on. If the brake works on the switch but isn't working when in neutral could it be electrical?

Yep works through a timer relay, and f/r lever, but also the throttle switch has to be set up, so when no throttle brake on.

Is the Thwaites a hydrostatic dumper?

 

[Mick-the-fitter]

Can’t see a gear lever!

Yeah two separate questions reminded me when I asked first about thwaites
