  1. Only problem is the TW are sealed bearings with no grease points .
  2. On the list . Good support from you guys
  3. Only on an older vermeer . I,m quite mechanically minded . Well I changed my old 2.5 NA Diesel to a 2.5 TDI and also made my landy into a tipper . 2 days should do it ?
  4. Fair point Back to the drawing board ? I,m just trying to rally the troops for tomorrows spannerthon
  5. High speed heavy duty titanium plated bearings the way my lucks going
  6. All them did think about just doing the two on the end . But as Ive got a week left of the holidays off I might as well do the job lot
  7. The bearing sat really well in there . Thanks for the dust cap offer . Think I will silicone seal the area when finished . I think its only lasted this long as I change and sharpen the blades quite often . Hopefully it will be up and running in 2 days
  8. Not sure but Ive owned her for over 6 years and its the first bearing change we,ve done . I would say she gets used 3 / 4 days a week as we dont chip everything . We burn a fair bit in the skips at the yard . Greg Nice one . Thanks for the offer but my bearing man in stoke is open tomorrow and he reckons he will have all the bearings in stock . You,ll have to send me a PM and we can meet up sometime and have a chat
  9. For sure
  10. Well no return now . Not many bearings left in there . Never had a rubber cover for that area Geoff but thanks for telling me
  11. Can anyone tell me the torque setting of the bolt in the centre of the bearing assembly . thanks
  12. Routine maintenance uncovered this little fella . Can you see him . This shell or bearing must of popped out of the housing . Only the slightest play in he flywheel . Ah well glad I regularly maintain and inspect my gear . Seem to recall a guy off here who had greaseable bearings fitted ? . I,m off to find the other posts on this matter now . If only Mr Lofthouse lived next door we can but dream .
  13. Had my rep round the other day . He kinda avoided telling me of the size reduction . Although price is the same . As said before 1/4 column is just that only now its harder to read .
  14. You should do your own hair . Ive been trimming mine with Wahl Balding clippers for a few years now . They get a really close cut . Hey why not start a wee clipper club
  15. Looks Cool . Wonder if anyone off here has adapted there own axe or even made something similar ?
  16. Cheers Lorry , Before you know it you,ll be towing your younguns around . Hope alls well up north
  17. 2012 Yellow Pages :lol Well its heading that way
  18. Roadkill you Varmints
  19. Me towing my youngest & my youngest towing his mum
  20. Why Why Why indeed . As the T shirts says it happens . You cant control everything or help everyone . So chill and enjoy . Look after your nearest and dearest and have some fun . Thats what the snows for
  21. I was told that it takes up to 3 months to feel the benefits by our local chemist
  22. Is it light blue and does it have bull bars ? Seen one pulling a small jenson chipper today . Just looked a bit odd kinda outta place and it was a P reg . Although was light blue as said .
  23. Get to job - only around -4 so quite warm by recent standards. Trouble was the thick fog meant the ground crew could not be seen! A revision to the risk assessment and dynamic adjustment to working procedures (don't even think of walking anywhere under the tree without confirmed verbal contact from above) and I climbed up for the second time. Slipped on icy branch and tore skin off left index finger joint - kept on bleeding - blood on rope, on chainsaw etc. Climbed down for a wound clean and a plaster. Back up again for the third time and start the dismantle of the Ash. Started to get a bit cold despite working hard - tree covered in Hoar Frost - then ropes started to freeze. Quit job and headed back to yard in thick, freezing fog - wipers frozen again. Hope tomorrow improves My day went similar to yours . Only I,ve now decided to have the rest of the week off
