Greenmech Quadchip 160 shear bars

Hi

 

Does anyone have any knowledge of taking out the shear bars on the above mentioned chipper. Thanks.

I sold my machine before I had to do it as even the factory said it was a total bitch of a job as you have to do it from under the machine with a slide hammer.

Great, just the words I wanted to see posted!

Taken off all retaining bolts and clamp but the things don't budge.

The factory told me I would be swearing a lot and have grazed knuckles by the time I had done it! Bought a forst instead.

This will be the reason the blades are scrapping the shear bar then!!!

Big bloody crack right through it.

Still can't get it out though.

Well....managed to get the shear bars out and this is the bar that's been causing the problems.

Now to buy a new one. £145!!

Our did that with 1 hour on the clock from new.

The mechanic at our local dealer mentioned scraped knuckles...

That's what mine did to, sent it into local dealer and let them deal with it and replace bearings at same time as had tiny bit of play as heard it was a testing job and I'd loose blood doing it.

Just an update to say rather than pay Greenmech £210 for the anvil bar I got a local engineering firm to machine a new bar and sharpen the blades for a total of £120. Result.

I don't know if this is a silly question but what are the shear bars for/located?

I have a quadchip and it would be handy if I had a heads up if this problem arises. Cheers
