Don't forget your Anvils

[swinny]

Need to do mine, went to a few weeks back but the other side was as sharp as a circle! God only knows how it chipped in that condition! Has anyone used Saturn knives anvils or is genuine the way to go?

I bought genuine but if i had to again i'd just go for one off saturn knives. Bought a set of blades off them a few weeks back. I have 4 other genuine sets but the saturn knives look good. Im happy with them

We have a set from Saturn in rotation and notice no difference in wear or longevity on our TW230.

Did anybody ever tried to weldseam a worn anvil and grind it square?

Yes .

 

 

 

It might take a bit longer next time, I'll build both edges up and regrind them square on my surface grinder.

Any-one changed the anvils on a Quadchip...?

Good fun wasn't it...?

Ty

No I heard about doing it so sold it!

I'm a wee fella and kinda flexible with it so I did manage to get up into the underbelly and remove the anvils after much cussing and hissy fits.

When I told Mac and Jason at G.M they where surprised and told me they normally remove the flywheel before tackling that horrible job...

It's just that normally, if we need the flywheel out for any reason, ie bearing replacement or blade pocket repair then we'll take that opportunity to see if the shearbars need turning or replacing as it's a cinch without the flywheel in the way..

Just done a training course for 'QTS' in Scotland and they've never had to touch the shearbars on any of their 19-28 Track Chips, all are worked hard and most have high hours....

Around 750 hours for the Quadchip but I would have preffered to turn earlier as they where well rounded off.

Not like we are chipping gravel and re-bar 5 days a week either.

Yes .

 

would an arc welder and a normal 6013 rod work ok for refacing the anvil ??

thanks carl

Anything will work, but The softer the filler material the quicker it will wear.
