From what I have heard the gearbox's (if kept oiled) are pretty much bomb proof, which I figure means if a machine is not working any more then I should get a good gear box out of it. I only found out yesterday so haven't had much time to think of all the routes. I'm not a mechanic so just went with my first thought. Have you had experience getting gears reverse engineered? There are companies nearby that do this (just googled it) but I have no idea on costs etc
-
Ok, the bearings, I think, are ok. It's the cogs I'm worried about, getting a price from the dealer soon, if they have any but I'm thinking the easiest and cheapest fix would be a complete gearbox from a retired machine?
-
I'm under the impression that it cannot be repaired, possibly only the top cog?

Yes, that's the very expensive part Pete is talking about that I'm after. It's the whole box that the drive shafts join to from the rollers. If anyone has or knows of one I would be super grateful

sadface sadface, my gearbox is on its way out on my chipper, seems i let the oil run dry..... live and learn i guess.... anyway it looks like they are quite hard to get hold of and a bit pricey so has anyone got one on a shelf or an old 528 for breaking?

The speed of it between cuts and the accuracy make me really happy. Husky better come up with something quick, I was thinking that with the new 201 apparently being a duffer, they would take the top handle market with the ever forthcoming release the 540, not any more!.....

I love this saw, been using it a week now and its great, picked up the 200 once imbetween and thought what a lumbersome oaf it was! I do have two issues with it though, firstly the flywheel casing(?) has two holes and one crack in it already, my 6 year old 200 has none! and I've only been pruning small trees so no big swings with the saw thwacking branches. second I think I'm noticing the vibes so might invest in some anti-vibe gloves, the temperatures have been low in the west midlands so this may also be having a factor. It will take a lot more than these two issues to prize this saw away from me though!! good work stihl!

I did this to a large 3 stem lawson once, might have used my short climbing rope to tie them together (cheap to replace ) no video though...

It's for sure not the safest method possible and all the comments on the thread should sway a newbie against such skills but its a technique in the locker and may come in useful in the future when experienced enough so long as the risks are identified etc. I just think that if someone is going to attempt to do something they probably shouldn't it may be best that they know the safest way of doing that method, or at least the things they definitely shouldn't do when doing said dodgy method. Historically yes, on the job teachings but I think that now with this internet and all it seems like slight censorship of knowledge.....
-
haha, fair enough it is a tad iffy but.... Sometimes I do think that techniques which are frowned upon, although used daily by most of us could be taught in a "safest method of unsafe methods" kinda thing, might save a lot of injuries...... or might do the opposite
-
why should advanced techniques not be shared within our industry?

I've got high hopes for this when it comes out, if it works well it's gotta be a winner! ASUS - Mobile- ASUS PadFone 2

had the hook on my wolf's and was using them for lowering rope retrieval recently, worked a treat and didn't get in the way

I really rate the wolfgarten poles

pre 2006 maybe 2005?? will have the breather for the fuel tank kinda exposed between the fuel tank and the carb/air filter, the pipe used to get pulled out climbing leylandii constantly!

wd40 and a whole lot of letting them snap shut from fully open

if your after dieback on a map the ashtag website is using google earth, it's got the unconfirmed sightings on it as well. It's the one the mail will be using

It's like I belong in front of the camera ay shep!

I found my sensor was faulty a while back, one of the easiest tests it to turn the chipper to on (but not running!), then move the drive wheel so the sensor is clear of any metal parts, pass something metal (spanner etc) past the sensor and a led light on the sensor should turn on (or off) when it detects the metal, if it doesn't light up then the sensor is likely your problem
-
Where new legislation is brought in maybe manufacturers should recall previous models without the new safety tech and perform retro fits to bring the (now dangerous?) machines they have profited from up to current safety standards. Are the end users expected to bin their current machine? why shouldn't they sell their current machine they paid ££££ for to fund the new more up to date model?

would be good to see one cutting through a lump of perspex or similar using a very high speed camera!
