Jensen Feed Rollers

I see. I'd have guessed that's a redesign rather than a weight save as was thinking about it and one spring wouldn't make any difference really? Mines the one spring horizontal and a wire to the roller type

2 springs of the same tension will be harder to pull than one meaning more cruishing force, that's if the one spring isn't the same strength as my 2 springs

No idea about which would have more power, this is mine, quite chunky. Yours looks a better design as the cable breaks on these every few years

Yes. Got peed off with cable snap every now and again and bad dealers so bought some cable and some clamps

Fair enough, I keep a spare one with.me now just incase. Did have a bit of luck with parts for once this week. The sensor to let the engine start only when bonnet is down packed up as got full of water. Found someone on eBay selling 2 new old stock ones to clear them for £20 delivered! Guarantee it would be £100+ from a dealer!

I'll try barnfields if i need parts but to be honest i'd like to change it for a tw190 tracked. Can get anything for tw online on spectrum plant easy peasy

Yeah I'm tempted to trade mine in for a 230 next year while there's still the option of a diesel engine. Although just bought a new set of wheels so it'll prob look too smart tomorrow and I'll change my mind

Tw230 is awsome i have a road tow. Then the jensen tracky
