Vermeer 935i Speed Sensor needed!

[18 stoner]

Can anyone point me in the right direction where I can find one?

 

Perhaps someone knows of suppliers of such, knows of others that will fit, or even has one laying around.

 

Oh, and yes, I have tried Vermeer!

Its an asy fix, you need to check what the sensor output needs to be and then source one to suit form RS components or similar.

 

Let me get back to you later with more info

The rate we are going, Im gonna have to buy you a large beer!

 

Not real sure how to find out any detail on the sensor, it seems to have no markings on it, and the end is a tad smashed(if there was anything on there, its gone)

 

Seems something has picked up on the flywheel and hit the end! Next job is to dig out what ever is floating around the bell housing:001_rolleyes:

Pardon my ignorance here, but What's the speed sensor do and where is it located?

Goes onto the engine block, its a magic eye that rads the speed of the flywheel, and switches the no-stress on and off as the speed increases and decreases:thumbup1:

Most of the older vermeers have a speed controller made by "speed switch", if you get the make and model of the controller the manufacturer will be able to tell you what the input voltage range is. I am sure there is a vermeer speed control box in the workshop, I will take a look and see what I can find out.

Cheers bud, mine is one of the later ones, its a 2003/4 machine. Not sure on make of jiggery box, but its a sealed one fixed on the inside of the lower bonnet, with two seperate looms coming out of it:thumbup:

Thing to do then is have a shufty at the magic box and see if there is a name and number on it, contact the manufacturer and ask what input voltage in needs. Armed with that you can go to RS or similar, I have a look and magnetic sensors are in the 50 quid price range.

Will do tomorrow, there's lots of paint on it but will give it a go.

 

Price sounds a bit more reasonable than 120 plus post!

You could try DSF.

try this link, it should open a catalogue. They are very helpful too.
