GreenMech counter knife

[leedeerman]

Does any one know the procedure to remove a counter knife (anvil) from a C150-25. its a fairly old machine, any advice would be much appreciated.

I presume you mean the little EC150MT25D with the three pot air cooled Lister? If you do, they are held in with two countersunk bolts into the chassis for the horizontal one and the vertical one is two countersunks which form part of the bearing/pump drive set up. If you are lucky, they horizintal can come out with the flywheel in place, if the allen key holes round off, then remove flywheel and puddle weld a big nut to the countersunk and voila! Job is a good un! I have managed to get a couple out with the flywheel in place but sometimes it is better to incorporate the job with new rotor bearings etc. If that is the route, then phone Mac or Jason at GreenMech and the will lend you the aligning tool for getting the pump drive spot on or it will eat the spider drive!

Helpful words from Pete there...

If youve been feeding logs like those in your avatar through it no wonder it needs the anvils turning.

Thank you Pete, Fingers crossed I can do it in situ!
