  1. Afternoon All, we just got notified that APF2021 has been postponed until September 2022.
  2. Please do pay them a visit, and stay there!
  3. What happened to you on the oil workers forums to have to leave and spread your gospil with Arbtalk?
  4. Just what window cleaners forum did you clear out with you wit, wisdom and knowledge of tree work?
  5. That Jason? He'll talk to any bugger to avoid getting any work done! 🤣 [emoji23] 🤣 [emoji23]

    In fact, the subject has been fair done to death. Best keep you opinions to yourself from now on!

    Prefer it if you pair got a room or went private message to be honest.
  8. Did you a message on my phone Dave, I was trapped in isolation with no mobile and precious little Internet, then one day back I'm bedridden with my own positive! 130 is exactly the same as the 150 and they only had different bonnets! It is a good tool and I know Martin Lucas was on about finding one for this week!
  9. AgriAffaires is similar to Mascus with big European base!
  10. Replace them with a measured pair as quite often, there are minute differences in length and that means that one is being stretched while the other loose!
  11. It has always been said that Redwood do a lot telesales, even if you decline, they will keep on trying.....
  12. Rob Forrestor at Andoversford has a handful of 'pickers. Give a chance of the work - 07966 665771
  13. Big ask, but email Tunnisen or Salaen direct or try PSD, part of Gibson at Colne.
  14. I put this on to the GreenMech Owners Facebook page and sent a round Robin email to our dealers too. Good luck.
  15. If Jensen won't come to the table, plate it and move on!
  16. Just that the VW thing is likely to be very expensive agin an off the shelf machine key. I get where you are coming from ref supporting a local economy though. Something which I will look to do on a personal level too.
  17. Honestly? They have used VW ignition barrels? Have you had it from new? No chance anyone else modified it?
  18. Before doing anything, try an diagnose the problem. Is the speed the same in reverse? Can you hear the oil squealing through the system? Is the oil getting right hot? Is the oil milky?
  19. Five years sounds about right for the batch of chassis that broke.
  20. Back a while, pushing a trailer unit like the one shown, was an easy way of making a towed device compliant in Europe. We did load like this for France. Probably still got a few in the weeds out the back of the GreenMech factory too!
  21. There is no mention of age? If it is fairly recent unit of say 7 years or so, I'd ask for factory and dealership records of similar failures. It may have been a common experience and as such, I'd be asking for som assistance?
  22. Sorry, Dig Bits. There are any number of suppliers and as Mike says, there is bound to be a maker's mark.
  23. Try dig bite or some such, they might be able to help. A decent hydraulic supplier would be able to once you give him the serial number, make and model. Otherwise, give T H White a ring as the current importer!
  24. Matty, while you got the tension of the pulleys, check the condition of the rotor bearings with a lever, and also have a feel of the bottom support bearing too. The engine should sit fully on the belts and the bolt free to allow the engine to sag a bit. New belts ved in and stretch a tad, if the engine sits on the bolt heads, the belts are in effect, loose.
  25. Sounds like the engine sits on a pad,,hinged up by the radiator. Support the back of the 3ngine with a jack, remove that bolt circled red and the mesh guard. Lift up the back of the engine enough to remove the old belts, fit the new four and lower the engine. Refit the cover and bolt and all should be good! Sorry, yes, you will need to remove the hydraulic pump then replace in the same spot exactly!
