Greenmech Quadchip 160 shear bars

[David Griffiths]

At the risk of sounding dumb, can any one tell me what the shear pin does?

[David Griffiths]

Sorry treemoose just read your message !!!

[Eddie Eco]

The shear bars are the other edge that the blades cut against and are located just before the cradle that houses the blades and rotor. Providing you don't have morons feeding the machine with stones and they don't crack, they do last a long time - our old old machine of ten years has only had them replaced once and you can of course flip them over to the other edge. Absolute sod to get to and very expensive all the same, in keeping with most of greenmech's spare parts!

[Treemoose]

Haha! No worries Dave.

 

Thanks Eddie, will have a look or dave will at least

An absolute pain to get out. A tighter fit than a brazilians swim trunks.

Hoping they go back in a lot easier.

I'll take some photos while I've got the chipper disassembled, for others reference.
