Don't forget your Anvils

[Benny4817]

Just below the rotor arm bearings there is 2 bolts the smal anvil is inside the square hole that the roller box was bolted to. Also when I do my anvils I don't disconnect any of the hydraulic pipes or remove the motors just lift the box to one side

There is a small anvil inside on the orange housing. These anvils can be turned for second use too.

Is that not what the second smaller anvil is for, it wears quite badly as well

 

Aside of the anvils the roller box edge wears, with the roller box on and no rollers in you will see what I mean. Bring the inner knive round to the anvil and with wear in the box you will be able to see where smaller twigs can get dragged in without being chipped. I changed knives/anvils on one occasion and the chip quality was still poor , constantly blocking the chute with stingy stuff like conny ( no problem with larger diameters) . Checked anvil clearance which on a TW is quite big anyway and all was in spec , I spotted this wear in the corner and welded it up. The thing now chips perfectly so its well worth looking at and its only a five minute job, its as important as the anvil really. Next time yours is in bits have a look and you will see what I mean.

Think you can get 4 turns out of them

Mine was 2003. I think in hindsight they sent me the two anvils, but I couldn't work out where the second one went.
