  1. Shaft looks OK, I only had to cut the housing then put a puller on the bearing and it came off ok
  2. So got everything of without to much drama, had to cut the old bearings to pull them off but that was fine. Took them to the local bearing shop before I cut them off and they sorted new with replacements. Went to fit it back on and they don't fit! I've tried different configurations by turning them and they are about 5mm out.... The casting on one of the old bearings was broken so I'm wondering if it has the wrong ones I've got ucp205-16 1" ones
  3. Ahha I see. Nice one jonny
  4. this is sounding confusing... there were no bolts just 3 grubs and there is a keyway on the shaft, I'll take a piccy tomorrow.
  5. there were 3 grub screws which i removed, should it just come off with a little persuasion now then?
  6. I have a rayco rg13 and one of my cutter head bearings is kaput so I need to remove the lower belt pulley to get the bearings out. Do I do this using a hub puller or is there another method?
  7. I've been left speechless and repulsed by some of the reponses here. Please if you don't have any logs to donate then there is no need to reply.
  8. I've just been sent this text message: "Hi there . I am a charity worker working for a charity based in Bristol but I live in bath . I have been working on the ground in the refugee camps in Dunkirk and we have a lorry taking building materials for shelters and firewood out to the families living in tents in horrific cold conditions . I am asking all tree surgeons in the area if they would be willing to donate some chopped seasoned wood to our project as they are desperate out there or if they know of any building materials going spare to build makeshift shelters to get people out of tents . I've seen for myself there are lots young children getting ill from the cold. If you can help it would be massively kind and appreciated thanks" Just wondering if anyone would be able to help. If so I will pass on contact details. Thanks
  9. I've got a 35c15 and it's awesome. Recently changed the gear selector which comes with the stick attached, easy job 30mins a and it's changed. Now my gears are loads better.

    <p>yeah, it was from about 5 years ago <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p>

    <p>I've had ago at getting it back to where it was the rollers and no stress worked briefly (2 & half logs) then stopped again, no power going into the valve...</p>

    <p>I'll have another go at getting the screw back to where it was. dont really get how it is having an effect on the electrical system though? (if that's whats going on..)</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>thanks Johny</p>

    <p>Hi Jonny</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>I have a problem with my jensen 528, a friend had a play with the screw in the roller valve speed control, and now the rollers won't work unless I run a direct line to the battery to the solenoid.</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>I noticed in an old thread you mentioned this problem and was wondering if you knew how to fix it?</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>any help much appreciated</p>

  13. there is a knife sharpener at avon business park on lodge causway in fishponds. does a good job and cheap as chips!!
  14. Just magic rainbows. Sorry
  15. Mozza, this is the best bit, there are no boots!! on this island, we all have our own little clouds which float us up into the canopy!!
  16. If your going to an Arb island and can only take one climbing saw which would you take?? normal spread of tree work specifications and there will be all the ground saws you could dream of....
  17. Its a great saw, I would keep it over a 200t any day, when its not up to it just get a ground saw. Its more useful than a200 for 80% of jobs, if you can user a saw without bogging it down it'll see you through just fine. Still miffed by the vibes mind you!
  18. why didn't i think of that!! that's just how it came so i just went with it.. nice one:thumbup1:
  19. I'm probably on tank 50/60 now but this happened after 20/30 tanks. the handle has got a lot smaller and the new casing is going the same way. I thought It must have taken a knock in a tree when it first started to show but now I've realised its the recoil spring pulling the handle back into the saw too hard I'm trying to remember to "put" the handle back in the starting position when firing her up but it's easy to forget...
  20. This is what happened to my last cover within two weeks of owning the saw... I'll get some pics of the replacement tomorrow.
  21. Mine is still going strong but the starter handle is slowly destroying the flywheel cover (and itself) for the second time..
  22. its the same on all of them
  23. the tm clips are a bit dodgy though! mines come undone in a tree before. its quite easy to clip in and only one side to click, making it sound and feel like both are secure....
  24. well I opened it up and the top two cogs look ok-there isn't much room to see mind. I was expecting to find dust! So I'm hoping It's just going to be the bearings (not sure if that's good or not....)
  25. I've put oil in it now, it was bone dry. From the way it was behaving i think it's missing a tooth now, maybe two and when the rollers change direction in the region of the missing teeth it slips albeit briefly. Thing is there are no signs of leakage or ever have been so the only thing i can think of is that when i bought it i had a full v.expensive service and maybe the guy forgot to refill the oil. I've been doing the engine/hydraulic service and changing the blades periodically but didn't know about the gearbox. This means it has done 300 hrs with no oil in the gearbox...
