We had an 8" Wicksteed Econicut saw at work for forty years. It's still
there, I'm not anymore...

I never saw any manuals for it.

Suds in the suds tank, oil in the oil tank of the hydraulic cylinder and,
preferably, way oil to the nipples on the ram. Grease does work, but not
ideal. Grease on all other lubrication points.

Tony's site has some documentation:-

This is a Hydramatic. One date on a label is 1964. I bought it not
realising the size and weight!

I'm puzzled that the wiring to the rear had a neutral wire which when
pulled, came away. The wire was longer than the phase wires and was
sporting a single strand where the other strands had become broken or
cut? I don't see why it would need a neutral, even with a two speed
motor. Its not obvious it was ever connected to anything but concerned
none the less.

Yes, not so cheap for a PDF.
