TW 150/230 chute slipping

[charlie]

 

Anyone come up with something magical to stop the chute moving?

Try roughing up the mating surfaces with a die-grinder, chute to rotor housing. K

You can buy a shim or cut one out of plastic can someone did it a couple of months ago on here I think.

Thanks Gareth!

This is relevant to the whole Timberwolf range, Timberwolf recommend greasing the chute flange area to stop it wearing.

we greased our 230 all the time ( one of the guys is anal and it was almost daily) but still had this.

You can buy a shim which is about £20 all in with the postage or did as i did as advised by Aspenarb  ( thanks Al!) and cut out a piece of and old oil can. Mine was a blue plastic one, took about 3 minutes and solved the problem instantly!

Before we had bungees and ropes to no joy, not solid as rock and cost nothing as had old cans hanging about.

Piece of low tensile fencing wire weld it to form a ring and slot it in, or buy a shim from spectrum plant, about £15 I think.
