Dead Jo Beau M300

Recommended Posts

The boys have killed my Jo Beau M300. The chassis is bent such that the Anvil is pulled out of shape. This means that it cant be adjusted to give a nice uniform gap between the anvil and the blade which in turn means it pulls through chips that are to big and the machine jams. New chassis is approx £1200 and that's before labour and the various parts that would probably be needed for rebuild.

 

So the question is what to do with it?

For me and my contacts a chassis repair is a non starter. Risky and expensive.

Would approx £2000 be good value for a rebuild?

I've been offered cash for the engine so selling the engine and scrapping the rest is an option.

 

Any other ideas?

Can't help I'm afraid, but if you do end up scrapping the rest, I might be interested as I have a JB M300 that might need a few parts - the one I have is just for garden use (not commercial) and it will hopefully live long enough for me, but a 'donor' could prove useful - albeit I'm not that close, but not too far also.

I've just bought a muck truck, apparently there's a shortage of Honda engines so a good secondhand one ought to be worth strong money.

Doubt it will make much difference. There seem to be plenty of Loncin Honda copies around- has one for a diaphragm pump the other day.
