Timberwolf 150 roller replacement

[Liam88]

Just bought a complete top and bottom roller kit for my 98 150. Any tips or things to look out for when replacing the old ones?

 

Many thanks

Do them before the bearings actually go as the 98 model has a fixed welded shaft to the flywheel , unlike the newer ones which has a three piece shaft which is replaceable. If the bearings go they can knacker the shaft and it can't be replaced so you have to upgrade to the three piece and a new flywheel and it's expensive

He's on about the infeed rollers not the flywheel bearings I think mate

Is that just the bolt on knives ? If memory serves they can be a git to unbolt. Or did you get complete rollers? check the wear on the splines of the roller motors

yes sorry ,quite obvious if you read it. The rollers are pretty straight forward but i would highly recommend doing the flywheel bearings as well .

Thanks for replys. Yeah feed rollers not the chipping blades.

Bought the complete kit from gareth at spectrum (great service). It includes roller body, blades, bearings, spline drive.

 

Managed to get old ones off today, both bearing were shot. It had an older sealed bearing with the welded spline drive. The other one was the newer plastic type but with no grease nipple!

 

Also one of the motors had damaged splines resulting in a rounded spline drive, so will have to get a new motor as well 😢

 

Will try upload some pics
