TW Help.

[PeteB]

Dunno. I might be cynical but it strikes me as bloody good spares and service work for the dealers. Hope I'm wrong and your not being abused.

Timberwolf service items and industry standard spares are at least double the price from regular suppliers. I wanted a feed roller hydraulic motor a few years ago. TW dealers wanted £300+vat, the local hydraulics man got me one for £ 156.+vat same eaton-yale motor same splines, same bolt holes different price. The same with the bearings. a local company has them on the shelf as they are a stand size. I paid £1200 for a new engine, it was straight from a Kohler importer and bolted straight in place. Entec/Timberwolf just buy in lots of standard parts and assemble them, they would be daft not to. Just that most owners think they have to buy the parts from TW or not at all.

Well I had to take off the anvil as it was badly worn and turn it over to use the other side, of course the bolts were seized, they rounded off inside as I tried to turn them so it was down to my friendly mechanic who welded two bolts on to the existing bolts to take them off, that done, I have to wait till Monday to get some new bolts from a local fastener store.

 

I did manage to put the new rotator on myself with no help though

I've given up on buying new anvils as they are easy to fill up with weld and grind back to a sensible level. Without taking it off the frame too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the doubters.

 

( why should I care after 11 years of service. When your chipper has lasted that long you can tell me otherwise.)
