Woodmizer trouble

[Coed y Cardi]

The engine on my LT30 packed up on Tuesday night, so I had a look on the web an found the replacement for my old Onan was a Kohler and some conversion kit, all this was on the Woodmizers US web page.

So I thought I would give Woodmizer UK a ring for a bit of advise! What a letdown all the guy told me was that ther was no replacment engine and quote (good luck with that). How do these guys do business like this? I intend changing the mill in a few years but no way will it be a Woodmizer!

Any way just ordered a new engine so hope to be up and running soon, if any one has replaced an engine on a LT30/40 I would appreciate a bit of advice thanks. Think I will start saving for a Timberking!!

I've got a Logmaster LM2 on the way. I will be distributing Logmasters here and they are a very solid alternative to Woodmizer and Timberking. Mine should arrive late August, so I shall report back then!

In 1988 I worked for the only onan dealer in the country for 2 years. I still have a few workshop manuals. Was you engine good when it was working. Can you get one off ebay possibly a low hr genset engine.
