<p>I used to do but nowadays I haven't time to fart normally (-:</p>
<p>Best of luck</p>

<p>I actually did the job for some one else, it took me over a day but it can be done in a day. It isn't a very technical job you just need a bit of mechanical understanding. The main thing you have to do is make sure it all goes back together without putting side load on the bearings and getting the shimming right</p>

<p>Cheers for the offer, I,m deffo putting in a system but not just yet as I am going to put planning for a house down at the yard so don't know yet whether I want wired or wireless, I'll let you know when I do though</p>

<p>It's a text alert from a motorbike alarm, I managed to wire it myself and instead of using the motorbikes alarm as a trigger, I just used a micro switch as a trigger. So if they lift the container handle, the micro switch closes and triggers it. </p>
<p>I got it because it can be run off a 12v battery, if I remember right it is called "snitcher" text alert. But there are loads of them on the market now, just found it this is the link. You can get them off ebay</p>

<p>Hi Paul, I use these mate, they are really good <a href="http://www.darlac.com/products/professional-wire-cutters" rel="external nofollow">Professional Wire Cutters | Darlac – Garden Tools</a></p>
<p>I,ve had a set for years. The cutters wrap round the wire so it can't slip out</p>

<p>I've had to do two messages because the first was too long. </p>
<p>Timberwolf are very good on the forum, try them and see if you can get the temp reading off them if not and you don't know anyone in your area I can get the reading of Bob who posts on arbtalk, he has a machine, but it may take me a few week as I don't see him that regularly, let us know, regards dean</p>

<p>Hi Simon, yes they do get quite hot but should not be to a point where you can't touch them. If they are getting so hot you can't touch them it may mean the shimming is out slightly. What I would do is buy one of those laser thermometers, I think even screwfix sell them, they are fairly cheap nowadays and measure the temp after a set time, say ten minutes running from cold. Then either post your findings in the technical help section ( timberwolf have their own section on arbtalk) and ask timberwolf themselves, they may do the same experiment on a new machine for you or find someone local with a newish machine and do the same with theirs. But timberwolf should be able to give you an indication of what the temp should be after a given time of running.</p>
<p>It sounds to me like the shimming may be a little out if it is getting too hot to touch, if the shimming is out it puts too much sideways force on the bearings and produces heat through friction.</p>

Yes but couldn't see the track you were on about, what's the actual address

I've no idea Johnny. I can't find the exact one and it's down the yard so cant check

Cheers for that. The rep text me to ask if I wanted a demo, I was going to put the demo off till around may next year, hopefully then there'll be more feedback available. At the moment you are the only one I've found that has had experience of it. Nice one

Thanks for looking into it chris, I've put the box body on hold till next year, got too much going on this year, I am definately going to ring them first though. They may be a little dearer than others but the standard is better. I was wanting to go to capel but got too much work in, not complaining though. Regards Dean
