timber crane problem

[david wood]

so mr loler man came to visit work today and we have a small issue on our junkari p3151 crane,   

 

the end of boom section has a bend in it, box section has taken a knock or shock load and flexed.  mr loler says its fine to use just monitor for crack appearing so at least not off use list!

 

does anyone have any experience of importing a crane section from sweden/finland where i think junkari are?   or ability to find a parts diagram so i can begin process of tracking down part.

 

not allowed to heat and beat straight/cut out and weld etc without metal re hardening and then weights and measures load lift test - which i suspect equalls scary money!

 

so i figure see about replacing part which looks fairly ok,  undo a bolt to drop grap and rotator, 4 pipes at a bracket to undo, and a pin/bolt at top end ( havent looked to see how ram holds/mounted) while holding with tractor and slings,     really only two physical connections plus one end ram.

BRM Brian Robinson Machinery Northallerton north Yorkshire, i think either do or did deal and import Junkari trailers and chippers, if they have a relationship with Junkari and given the times we are in i would think it would be far quicker and easier to buy through a established dealer, from what you say after removing grab and disconnecting the ram the slide should just pull out with little effort and then replace new one sounds easy and it could be but i bet that part costs you some ???,

As for cost it should not really matter as the crane needs to be right, next thing the extension will be stuck in and be a right ba-tard to get out, I bought a hydraulic pump for a Kubota L3250 compact tractor not long since and nearly had a heart attack when he told me was over £700 + VAT as its only the size of half a house brick and not much good for our job with out it,
