Hobbs Meter going down!

[SawDust_Studios]

Ok, I know Woodmizer makes a great saw, but I didn't realize that they made a saw that got newer the more you sawed. 

I was sawing at a job this weekend and I had just changed the oil on my LT40hd last week at 155 hrs. During the course of sawing, I looked down and the mill showed 0071.4 hrs.  At some point, the 1 in 17x.xx went to a zero! 

Has anyone else had trouble with their Hobbs meter?  I just put on an electric tach with hr meter, to track hrs, but I thought this was strange.  The meter appears to be going forward.

Hi the one on the 300 seems to go both ways and sometimes not at all... ???

hour meter wired up backwards?

[SawDust_Studios]

No never changed anything, just notice the 1 went to zero sometime while I was sawing.

The tach I bought has a meter on, so I wrote down how much I had on the mill when I installed it.  Just suprised that it crapped so soon.  I've had equipment with 2-3k on that worked fine

Just hope it doesn't go back again. The next number is 9!  (0941.4) :D  :D  :D  :D

I'm just wonderin' if I should put the old oil I just took out back in  :

They say Woodmizers keep the value pretty good, I guess mine really will  8) 8)
