They are as rare as hen's teeth and hold their value right good! Ask your nearest GreenMech dealer for a price on a new one and go from there! I did get asked by one lad who wanted to get out of this trade and I'll see if I can find his details on Monday. I did suggest to him that he puts it on Arbtrader.....

Get well soon Steve!

Advice on building a kiln from a 40ft shipping container
PeteB replied to Gillsgardening's topic in General chat
Take a look at the Glen Farrow things. -
Short term fixes are a pita! Do a proper job then it is done and forgettable!

Ford Ranger with factory fitted towbar and electrics doesn't like LED lights! Bristol Street say that Ford don't have a fix!!! Anyone had similar issues and what was the fix?

Praise where it is due! Good on yer John for assuring credit goes to those who try!

Hmm....both rockers had a tube up to the 'funnel' fitted on top of the carb, below the air cleaner. You say I got to modify these to go in to tube No 1 in your diagram? Got company this weekend so will spanner about on Monday.
-
Nice one Bob! I got number one, what does pcv mean? I assumed it was vacuum secondary but wasn't too sure. Will find a valve and plug that into the rear of the manifold too, but not too sure if it should have a nrv! Old fashioned Mallory dizzy with twin point set up and high output coil.
-
First picture shows the old carb, complete with choke flap in place and mechanism, the other picture shows the alternative unit minus the choke flap and mechanism and the vacuum line.
-
Sorry, I wished I had put a picture up. The choke flaps and mechanism have been removed yet you can see where the once worked!
-
The ignition advance is sorted with a tube of much smaller diameter, this is for power brakes I would assume and I get that from the edelbrock manifold with a non return valve. Blowers ordinarily sit under the carb as pushing that much air into a carb would give you a weak point. (Would love to fit one mind!). The choke is a bit fiddly to fit/remove and is usually trouble free working so I'm confused. There is another Holley on Fleabay right now off of a LandRover with no choke!
-
I know this an Arb based forum but just in case there is a car nut in our membership! I am swapping 4 barrel carbs on my hot rod. The original was badly worn and leaked and had the floats stick open which filled the sump up! A replacement was sourced through evil bay some months ago, which came off a running engine of the same type/size (apparently). Gone to fit it today to find that it is fitted with a vacuum hose where the other hasn't and the choke mechanism is removed. My questions are; would it work okay if I blanked off the vacuum and why would you remove a choke set up? For the record, it is a Rover 3.5 and Holley 390cfm.

I get okay with mine! But he has awful taste in wine and believes that everyone likes very sweet wine! My own came for a weekend and we watched the rugby at Tigers and drank more than enough! Sweet!!! My ex's were odd in that they just wanted to eat and drink all through the holiday and the TV never got switched off!!

If you have two hydraulic motors powering them then a gap is needed, just incase on turns slightly faster than the others. Jensen spout on about intermeshing rollers, that is because they have one motor driving a gearbox which in turn drives the two rollers!

Build quality is usually good, it ain't under 750kg, and it chips! Spares off of the shelf at PSD in Colne or participating dealers.

Any belt driven machine, be it a mower, chipper, tractor etc, will need belt maintenance, especially when new belts are fitted. In days gone by, a belt tension metre could be had but most people can judge belt tension by touch!

35hp Avant is around the £20k mark!

Measure the hole centres and walk in to indespension. They would make one to suit.
-
Someone was recently fined a fair chunk for selling or trying to sell an imported machine that did not have a valid certificate of conformity! I would look for an alternative that does meet all the compliance regs. Shame though, I thought that the Boxer was a good tool when were the importer for a while and Cliff Perks is a good chap!

Petrol v diesel long and short term costs...
PeteB replied to Ty Korrigan's topic in Large equipment
My recollection on high ethanol fuel burners or E85 units is that the are woefully underpowered for their size! I read an article about one in a car and it was truly awful! -
And GreenMech....we do the 1623 which isn't 750kg....
-
Arbsafe and the National Plant Register. The trouble is, people will buy cheap stuff and not get the serial number checked prior to sale!

Petrol v diesel long and short term costs...
PeteB replied to Ty Korrigan's topic in Large equipment
I don't think anyone will have a sub 750 woodchippers with 35hp diesel soon enough. Diesel engines will get more complicated, very expensive and a load heavier with the new tier regs! We may all have to accept the smaller diesel units like the 26hp we already use or a petrol! We have already looked at 80hp Kubota petrol engines in chippers, gas conversions and hydrogen generators fitted to engines! -
It could,of course, be that the OP doesn't want Forst, Jensen, Bandit, Vermeer etc, but favours Timberwolf and GreenMech. Many do........
