Change the chain FAST! Horrible nasty thing it was too.

The pulley kit may be available through an Opico agent but someone has suggested an agent in Suffolk.

Takes a morning so quick to do. I would do the little ram seals at the same time too if you can as these usually leak.

I've had one for 25 years and since changing to the rope haven't looked back. I also keep a spare set of seals in the workshop buy I'd certainly have to hunt for them if it leaked today!

We're converting to rope with the proper kit. Thanks for the tip on the seals

How much if you dont mind sharing?

[TCM]

Cheapest we found was £440ish plus delivery and VAT

Seems a lot but you will recover it in lost time and smoother working. A new knocker would be thousands. You could sell gears maybe on ebay or in a tractor mag. Suprising who may want such.

Thanks for sharing.

Are they gold plated.

What is in the kit to get it to that price.

I imagine two pulleys, greasable shafts x2 2x bearings a rope . U bolts. Its a niche market gone are the days of the old bloke in the village enjoying fettling up a couple of pulley wheels for a tenner on his lathe.

 

Sometimes I dig my heels in and DIY or source through the web others I just face the music and cough up.
