    Good way of getting your friend count up if you are billy no mates

    One little tip is take the grub screws out completely and using a smaller drill than the hole and taking care not to touch the thread is drill a countersink for the grub screws to engage into

    They probably meant that they monitor the bearing temps after setup, and if they go over standard running temp they know theres a problem and reset the bearing. It will only be used as a double check to make sure they are right. The Timberwolf engineers I have spoken to know their stuff

    I personally would not want to judge bearings by temperature, I'd rather get the "backlash" right before start up. If you run bearings and discover they are getting extremely hot quickly, the damage has probably, already been done. Temperature is caused by friction Best way to "check" you have the correct "backlash" is to add a small weight to unbalance the flywheel, turn the weight to 9 oclock and the flywheel should turn without hinderance till the weight goes past 6 oclock and back and forth slightly till it settles at 6

    I cant remember how much the bearing wear but they were sourced direct from a bearing company which works out half the price of dealer sourced bearings. Man hours....you could do it in a day and spend time making sure everything is clean and spot on, if you have all the tackle available, if you dont have huge bearing pullers etc your going to struggle and also a knowledge of how to press bearings into place properly. Many bearings are damaged from new by being pressed into place wrongly or not being shimmed properly to ensure no constant side loading

    Chipping bigger than 5" saves time over snedding and cleaning up for logs for me. Plus chip takes up less room in my chipbox saving emptying. If the customer is keeping the logs then I'll process even 2" logs to save going to tip

    Stove on full blast, nice comfy settee, why not ??
  25. Dean Lofthouse
    Any chipper built to a 750kg limitation is going to be stuck with components that have been used based on their weight and not their strength. It seems they may have used said bearings on the 190 too ??
