[defenderjack]

hi guys , just spoke to guy about a timberwolf 125 he has for sale ,the only catch being that the rocker gear needs to be replaced ?? apperently hes having problems trying to get the part which is only a few quid but has to come from the states , firstly peeps id like to know if any has had similar issues and secondly is it an easy fix ? can you get the part over here ??

many thanks in advance

Never had a problem with mine mate,sounds a bit strange for a honda engine,be carefull.

yeh i dont really wana be buying a box of nuts and bolts !

 

can i buy yours ! sounds excellent ! lol:001_smile:

Mine has been bombproof,great little machine,a good one will come up soon,no point buying one with trouble,smells of abuse & lack of maintenance.

Knackered rocker assembly sounds like lack of oil change to me,they dont realy burn any oil,but a frequent oil & filter renders the honda engine completely reliable.

when you havnt got the cash there seems to be loads on the market and then when you have there doesnt seem to be any !

i know thats not really the case but it does seem like that doesnt it !

thanks for the wise words geoff

Often the way mate,but if you give me the cash,when a good one comes up I can lend you the money to buy it.

the only problem that i know of with the 125 is with the rocker bolts , if the machine has not been well looked after or poorly maintained then the thread to locate the rocker bolts can be stripped which will require helly coils , other than that i do not know what it could be that he needs to get in from the states , timberwolf hold every part for all of their chippers on the shelf . if i were you i would be staying well clear of it

Hi i have a honda timberwolf 24hp same size chipper. make sure the machiene is good ie rotor bearings etc. a honda engine £1200 so presume your one is crap.

 

I would buy it but at a knocked down price with worst case new engine in mind.

 

No one sells a good chipper and if they do they dont sell cheap.

 

Sounds like the engine may have gone poop and been repaired with no joy maybe or maybe i dont read things properly.

 

a 125 with capoot engine £3500 if good condition chipper.

In all fairnes some of us do sell a good chipper , i sold my TW190 , it was just over 2 years and done 600 hours , before i sold the machine i had the rotor bearings changed .

 

I think the problem is some of the people selling chippers and honesty , If i was looking at a chipper and thought i may have to change the engine no matter what the price was i would be leaving it there , if a major component like the engine needrs replacing it does not say alot for the rest of the chipper really
