Tw125 flywheel bearings

[saintdeanop07]

Anyone know anything about flywheel bearings on tw125. Mine need replacing. Any ideas on cost?

Spectrum plant, my machine has started doing a squealing noise think it may be the flywheel bearings too...

Hi, I have qualified Timberwolf technicians you can talk to . Gareth of Green Plant 01483 235111

This is a job that has to be right !
Which includes running the chipper and checking bearing running temperature followed by adding or taking away shins where needed to achieve the correct temperature range otherwise failure is just waiting down the road..
Whoever you use just ask them how they insure the correct reload on the bearings !

It is easily achievable in under a days labour. Providing the nose shaft isn’t worn and it is just bearing replacement a dealer should charge less than £500 inc parts, labour & sharpened blades.

 

You’re looking for a 3mm blade - anvil gap on a TimberWolf. Check that before you strip it, if it’s about right then stick the same amount of shims in as a starting point. 

 

Edit. Just realised how old this original post is!
