Hyundai are badging a load of gear at the moment, from compressors to chippers and generators. I doubt whether any of it has been near Hyundai factory but came from the far east.....
-
Congratulations on the award, well deserved and hard won! A fantastic team effort.
-
Floating blade? What exactly do you mean? Does the hydraulics react to pressure lowering or raising the arm as you pull the bucket across the ground?
-
All right you clever shite, I missed that!
-
As said, check that the levers are okay, check that the spool is getting travel too. Worth checking oil level of n hubs as low oil or bad oil ain't good!
-
I would have ditched the friction set up as it can be a dark art setting them up and gone for a standard AX shaft with bolt!
-
Interesting belt drive arrangement on the grinder!
-
Happened to me too on a demo just the other week! I laughed big style as a huge load of conifer flew up in a mushroom cloud! Tightened the clamp up fairly fierce after that.
-
Sounds worrying to stall the pump to get belts smoking!?! The hydraulic circuit should have a blow off/safety valve that would not allow the pump to do this! Is the return filter clean and oil in good nick?
-
We took two off our QuadChip when we made it easier to get to the nipples. Cannot see the point of remotes when access to bearing is good enough to go direct!
-
Paint the drive red!

Give GreenMech a call on 01789 400044 and talk to Jason! Off memory, if you are lucky, clean out the Allen headed bolts using a pointy thing through the blade holes, shock them with small punch/hammer then undo with an Allen key! If you are unlucky, remove rotor, puddle weld a nut to c/s bolt and und with spanner! Fit new bearings while rotor is out and ask to borrow the alignment tool if your hydraulic pump is mounted on the alloy housing.....
-
Which are the shafts turning John? You may need a rotation changing gearbox ontoa layshaft with another pulley. Bit of fab work and maths......
-
£175 the pair?
-
Blimey! I was pro Isuzu after 264k miles with one for a GreenMech tow tug but now I'm not so sure! When they replace this Ranger, Ford will not be invited to the party either!
-
Perhaps it can!
-
What about your spot Jeremy? Your near too aren't you? How are things anyhow?
-
I came across a chipper which needed new bearings for the second time this year. The independent mechanic fitted new bearings on an old shaft which he knew was worn to save costs and has it back again for another set of bearings and a shaft! He went and got a price for a complete new rotor instead of asking for a new shaft or having the existing one built up and re profiled!
-
Ring Salcey and Cleartrack, just north of MK but close enough. I'll see if the office have a number for MK Parks, or whoever is doing the trees nowadays and send you a txt Kev.
-
Cannot the old unit be remanufactured? Copied?
-
Works for me!
-
Overloading again Pete!?!
-
Bugger! The 170 was also fitted with 4LE1 Isuzu as fitted to the 220. Okay, some mods, pulleys etc. But, crikey, did it go with that!
-
Bandit 65?
-
Is it a flexible plate machine or one with the alloy bell housing and a solid shaft? Even then, I have seen one of those break too. Wise words though, check it out and confirm!
