Apparantly, if you have an older unit that blows up, and they are still available, then a new one can be fitted or the old one can be rebuilt if the parts are available. It applies to new chassis numbers going forwards.
-
We foundsome remote fobs that were a miserly £25 each rather than some £75. Might be from some far off land.......

It is a question that I have asked and what are the penalties? Then look at the recent things with VW and I think Mercedes-Benz and their testing and published figures! I think if a manufacturer committed these offences, they would loose so much credibility that they might struggle in business going forwards etc. One may say, 'it didn't leave the factory like that', and get away with it. But engine suppliers might take a dim view and refuse to supply further units as it'd drag them into the argument and they are risk averse! I too think that some petrol engines are less good at emissions and it may be that in time, they too have a new set of regs to adhere to with convertors and stuff in the exhaust system. Who knows....
-
The basis is, some current engines cannot be detuned to run clean - the Kubora 1505 run in previous TW/Forst blah blah blah cannot be ran at 35hp any more, it has to be 25hp. To get 45, fit a turbo, but it runs dirty, and cannot be reasonably detuned to 35. S9 it gets binned To make them run clean, they have to be precision instruments and have help, all of which increases cost to the pocket to make a benefit to our lives and those come after us. Some people will accept the changes to the costs and power and adjust their own pricing to suit and others will run the cheaper petrol engines but have to accept that they run differently. These changes have been forced on us all because off the evidence of climate change and the need for those that are able, to accept the change.

We still have 45hp turbo diesel engines for use and will use them while we can. We are also looking at DPF units for tier 5 usage but the cost so much more for no perceivable gain. Other than environmental, which we should accept as a plus! We will fit that 45hp into the 165 for massive power in a 'small chipper while we can.

Roo having a kip! Looks like the end fell off the mop!
-
Fizz having a kip through the thunderstorm, big dog Woody (GSD) goes mental at thunder!
-
Blame the French health and safety! As well as the stop buttons and the push stick, they were trying to get hand feeding banned at one point! This is about the only time a 'Standard' has been binned before the replacement has been agreed, written up and implemented!
-
Standard fit on all machines going to France, and standard fit to Bandit supplied here too I seem to recall. We make ours, paint them red and slot them in a holder!
-
Can France still supply the 230 with a 35hp diesel? Did a UK dealer bring these out to you?
-
As long as we have stocks and within the time frame. I'm not sure how the timeframe is extended by though.
-
Not at the moment, the QuadChip is still in production but with either the 25hp diesel or the 37hp EFI petrol.
-
Sorry, crap at diets and losing weight myself! Put on some 4 stone in 20 years! Booze, meat, carbs etc....changing shape is easy with tasty food and unhealthy lifestyle, losing it is bloody hard work! Ordinarily, if you like something, it is either immoral, illegal or unhealthy! I've stuck to the later!
-
We binned the spare wheel, the adjustable A frame, used a narrower axle, slightly changed the infeed, 50B grade steel sheet, binned the sound deadening bonnet liner, lightened the flywheel to suit the petrol torque/hp, binned the folding discharge chute and stand, binned the covers over the rear lights.....Everything was scrutinised so that with fluids and reasonable amount of fuel, it was on the zone! The chip chamber, roller box etc is still the same as the Evo165 diesel and Limited Edition 45hp unit.

Patch it locally. Generate a relationship with a local partisan and they will be glad to help!
-
Three in the house at times now. Woody (big dog), Fizz (Jack Russell) and Roo (Norfolk Terrier).
-
I did get told that the blades are so similar that it is uncanny, but, the blade angle had been increased. This angle change significantly increases the loads that it is asked to take and parring off a bigger bite means that it will fold quicker than a Jensen blade.
-
Every make has its 'haters', it has always been the case. Now, they can go public. And as you say, some have no experience either! Mother always said, 'if you got nowt good to say, then shut up!'. Or 'better to say nowt and appear to be stupid, than open yer gob and have it confirmed beyond all doubt!'.
-
We say copper slip as an anti corrosion/stick stuff on our CS100 blade bolts. In this instance, the bolt is counted as a stud rather than a bolt so you are okay using it. We found that a heavier torque load achieved little but was a PITA occasionally, trying to get the torx drives out, especially when they weren't scrupulously clean or had stuck I with corrosion! But always check the manual or consult the supplier with any kit if you ain't sure!!!

Call me on 07774 282481, there are a couple of options and different prices. Cheers.

I'd be inclined to say that it could well be gear oil or EP90, and it may have a level in the centre. Remove the bolt or cap head in the centre and with it on level ground, it should just start to dribble out. But, as another poster said, go to TH White, the importer and ask their service department to confirm at that gearbox will be expensive if you bust it. Re checking the picture, it may even be the fixing in the centre of the lower casting. EP90 stinks and is quite viscous so that may be enough to get pulling and transferred around the inside of the box.

I saw this and thought, what about heritage or primarily display trucks, what about stuff classed as special vehicles, cranes etc?
-
I know Leicester has a very capable bearing, belt and gear supplier. I bet there is on (or more) in every large town or city. Take it in and get their advice, they may be able to help with a straight swap or an alternative. Or wait for the Hyundai spare parts people to get something from China again....

Sorry I was auto corrected.

We use copper slip on CS100 blade torch bolts.
