Entec blade pockets

[daveindales]

Was wondering, are entec blade pockets replaceable. It is bolt on. If so, is it the same as timberwolf ones. The chipper is a 2001 entec ch25

I think theyre welded on dave... Could be wrong though

[daveindales]

Mines defiantly bolted. Can feel the bolts at back of flywheel. Can also see the outside bolt. Don't forget that mine is a late entec. May 2001 and is younger than some of the first timberwolf so.

 

Was wondering if they are the same as present day timberwolf pockets

Not sure on the older ones but my friend had a Entec 2003 one i have a 2009 timberwolf 150 and both Blade pockets are bolted and also welded in place

I've taken a photo of the pocket Chris. But it's upside down (bloody iPad) let me know what you think

from pic looks welded down side but cant really see from pic

[daveindales]

Yes, your probably right. Welded and bolted. So, how do you change them?

[Benny4817]

could ask first why do you actually want to change the blade pocket it self has it suffered damage making it unbalanced etc ?

if you have to change them you will need to grind the weld off take bolts out and re weld back in but depending who did this you may need the flywheel balancing

[Benny4817]

ive had dozens off flywheels off some my own most friends etc to change bearings etc and to now never had to actually change blade pockets due to wear etc did here of one friend who had to as he totally knackered the threads that hold blades in made

I was just wondering what would happen if the worst came to the worst. If you take a look at the back of the pocket (bit confusing as photo is upside down) you can see where the metal has come away. Am guessing it is weldable
