Bullard 36" vtl leaking oil from under solenoid in valve.

[Ktencza]

Does anyone have any experience with this machine. Was running great after clutch and brake clutxh fixed. Now when i start the machine oil is coming out from under a solenoide in vavle body. The solenoide makes a load humming sound, ordered one and still does the same thing with new selonoide, vibrates loud and leaks lots of oil.

The solenoid buzzing is because it is not receiving full voltage or a solid neutral.
I think you will find they did not ground the control transformer. So when looking at the voltages you will need to find the other leg the machine casting will not give an accurate voltage reading.
OR when you tightened down the solenoid it pulled down unevenly and the plunger is stuck.
I believe you will find an o ring at the mounting face.

Thank you, by the way the control transformer which are you refereeing too, tahnks again?

I believe you will find a control transformer in or on the panel.
This should take 3 phase high voltage and transform it to 120 volts single phase ac for switches, relays, the control portion of the machines circuitry.
Do you have the schematic?
Post it so we can reference it.
