Just bought a Woods HLS 27 splitter with a bad pump, and can't find a user, or parts manual for it. Looks like Woods quit making these units. Anyone know where I can get a manual?

Looks like same as Speeco..
Dang, Alleycat! You've been here for 16 years and only 49 posts. That's impressive.
You fooled me with your avatar - I thought you were Avalancher for a moment. Sure wish he was still here.

I just looked at my profile and my last post was in 2017. I got older and slowed down quite a lot. It was entertaining to look back at my old posts, and had to laugh at some of them. As for my post today asking for info on a woods service manual, my hat's off to Woods. I had gone to their site before posting here and the HLS 27 wasn't listed on their manuals list. After posting here, I went to the Woods contact page and asked if the manual was available . I figured it would be a couple of days before hearing back, but was pleasantly surprised to get an almost immediate reply with a downloadable file. Woohoo 
I used these guys for a pump for my old troybuilt splitter with good results. https://www.daltonhydraulic.com/hydraulic-pumps#!/cat=68&p=clear

Thanks Steve. If I can't repair the pump I'll give them a call.
Surplus Center in Lincoln Ne is also a good source for hyd parts.

Agreed, they are an awesome business. I've bought a lot of stuff from them.

Looks like I will be replacing the pump, as this ones obviously toast. 
Now comes the fun of flushing metal debris and dirt that might be everywhere in the system. The machine was stored for a number of years in an open pole barn with a dirt floor. The pump had been broken down and all the fluid lines were open to the dusty atmosphere. I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this one.
