On the pump tank unit there is a solenoid valve and a spring loaded pressure relief valve. Chances are its a bit of crud under one or the other, its usually the PR because crud under the solenoid side of things tends to free itself. Only work on the hydraulics with the tipper down

Manual or electric pump?

They come with self adhesive pads that allow you to clip the camera off when not in use Edit Here is a fivers worth if spares http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8x-Flat-Curved-Helmet-Mounts-3M-Adhesive-Pads-for-GoPro-Hero-1-2-3-3-4-Camera-/112021260604?hash=item1a14fcc93c:g:JRUAAOSwnFZXV~q~

The seeds have the highest levels of toxins but you are unlikely you eat enough if them to do yourself any real harm, that goes double for the wood and treble if you are willing to sit around in a cloud of smoke

You wont save much by not galving the chassis, if you can get one. Go for the new chassis, better the dog you know

You need a jobbing engineers shop. g=Google will point you in the right direction. Hawk kit round a couple and ask them for a price to make it like new.

The top eye can be machined and bushed to bring them back to size. The bottom ones can be cut off and replaced, the one on the right looks different, if its solid get it bushed the same as the top ones. The work and materials should cost about 150

What do you expect if someone else services your saws?

Have you asked them for a schedule of the works yet???? -
The pipes usually don't give any trouble but going at it a bit too hard can cause splitting. Most lube work happens before work and before the machine is warmed up, try greasing when the chipper is warmed up, failing that there are semi fluid lubes available that are less viscous and less likely to cause problems but speak to the manufacturers about intervals The plastic pipes are a recent thing, in days of yore they were steel and if you are willing to pay for the extra work, they can be again. Swapping to a nipple on the bearing is as simple as can be, you could probably take the one off the remote bank and put it into the housing.

Daily. Bandit used to come with a sticker saying check all bolts daily, do they still have that? A chipper is in and of itself an act of violence. A look over at the least should be part of the days first run checks.

Ha ha, since when were mortgage reports about anything other than the mortgaged asset?

Because chasing a cheese down a hill would be just silly

Good luck with that

That's nice but it still wont fit on the chipper input shaft without some form of adaptor, you could take the flywheel out, remove the shaft, get it machined to accept the spline and re fit it all, but making an adaptor is easier and would make replacing the splined portion much easier if needed.
-
Nope that has the make spline one side and a female spline on the other, the only thing it will attach to is a spline, see the split and pinch bolt, its to lock the clutch to a spline. I don't think that's an over run clutch either, you don't need over run but it will take a lot of the "lash" out of things for the tractor gearbox The way to get the clutch in play is to get a spline onto the end of the chipper input shaft and the simple way to do that is to get an adaptor made to go over the chipper input shaft on the one side, and bored and keyed on the other to take a splined shaft. Trust me, I have done this before
-
The endoscope training gives you another string to your bow but it is just another ticket that you wouldn't get the work without. You could argue a premium for the scope work but, it could also be argued that since you wont be using saws or rigging kit, its swings and roundabouts.

You cant bolt that to anything, it fits to a PTO shaft

I had a year where there were queens crawling out of every basket full, but there had been a nest in the banking near the log cages. Going on what emerged over the winter, a plague of biblical proportions was on the cards, yet it didn't happen. The dubious value of limited sample observation:laugh1:

Possibly something along the lines of "there us a nice big tree with plenty of amenity value"

540 is to slow for the flywheel but, while some chippers may have an input speed of 540, they are geared (pulleyed) so the flywheel is doing 1000. 1000 is more than fast enough
-
Depends how it was done. At best you are welding what ought to be a bit of med carbon steel to something unknown (the chipper) that is probably mild steel (low carbon) The weld would have to be face to face between the flywheel shaft and the splined shaft which is inch and three eighths dia. Worst case the weld fails, the shaft spins out of control flailing around on the UJ while the slide end comes off and flies through the air looking for mischief and mayhem
-
I converted an older Ganadini to PTO when the engine dropped a valve in. The job was pretty simple. The flywheel shaft was parallel (as most are). I simply removed the drive pulley and had an adaptor collar made to go over the shaft and bored out and key'd on the other end to take a PTO drive shaft. Don't go welding the input shaft. it would be an arse to get straight and would always be a weak link The PTO shaft had a friction overload clutch with a built in over run so the tractor could be powered down and allow the chipper to coast to a stop. I fabricated a stand to make the best balance of the PTO angle and in feed height so it all worked out neatly.
