TW 190DH Advice

[NoRush]

I'm having a look at a 2006 tw 190dh tomorrow. Is there anything is should be looking for as regards weak points . Any help/advice greatly appreciated

check the bearings with crow bar and check wheel bearings, also have some large timber so you can see the no stress working.

Check the feed rollers haven't pushed to one side and eaten into the body

Look for cracks in the cast rotor and metal fatigue in the chassis, look at the condition of the rad core and run the engine with the cap off looking for bubbles. Get the serial number and check with the supplier for known history.

 

I would do this with any device, let alone a chipper!

The lower feed roller has moved to the side wearing into the side but only a small amount. Is this a major problem to sort. Also the spout has been welded at the bottom quite well and a new axle. It looks used but not rusty (could do with a paint job) and chips well. Its a 2006 with 2500 ish hours on. Checking history on Monday. What sort of price would I be looking at.

2500 is quite a lot for a machine like that. 6k maybe

How much is he asking ?? I reckon 5 1/2 k tops , there's better machines out there

[NoRush]

He's asking 6 no vat. Its had a new fly wheel and bearings

[Mick Dempsey]

Bingo! If it's a good un, its a fair price. Check the veracity of the new flywheel/bearings combo.
