  1. ok im going to pop to my local bearing place today, is there a easy way to put new belts on or has lay shaft, bearings etc got to be removed?
  2. Hi, ive got a predator grinder that i need to order some new belts for due to burning them old ones out! it has been converted to v belts and it currently has spa 2282 on it but you can also get xpa belts that are cogged. which are better spa or xpa and does anyone recommend a decent brand of belt as i would rather pay a bit more and get something thats going to last. Many thanks Simon
  3. Yes managed to get it sorted, the flywheel key or something had sheered, I thought I scraped the engine as it ran on its own oil until it died! So was lucky really
  4. Ive had a grinder pack up in someone rear garden, i tipped it over and hydrolocked the engine with oil and couldn't get it to start , after a lot of stressing and scratching heads we managed to plum a hydraulic power pack into it and managed to get it out of garden and on to the trailer.
  5. I've been in touch with them today, just waiting for them to get it booked in to get sorted.
  6. Hi, has any Quadchip owners had any problems with stress cracks? I've got a quadchip that's about 10 months old and have had to have the pannel the by the hopper replaced under warranty due to one, but just noticed today they the replacement pannel has done the same again after about 2 months.... Has anyone else had any problems like this? Or is it a one off?
  7. My regular climbers let me down today due to injury, its not a hard climb just lots of rigging, if anyone's available give call me on 07739755111. Many thanks Simon
  8. ive got my quadchip insured with trust insurance on a new for old policy, when i added it to my policy i asked about trackers and said they wouldn't offer any discount if a tracker was fitted. and theres not a lot of places to hide one on a quadchip that wouldn't be spotted by a thief in my opinion.
  9. Give me a call if your still looking for work, were based in kingswinford so not a million miles away and currentley lookibg for a climber.
  10. Tipped my tracked grinder over a few weeks ago tracking it down some ramps and ground gave way!!! luckily there was a 3ton digger about to lift it back up.

  13. ill check the gap between coil and flywheel tomorrow, but by the looks of it ill be ordering a flywheel.
  14. Thanks, thats what i was guessing as theres not a lot else to go wrong. How hard is it to remove the flywheel? does it just unbolt or are any special tools needed?
  15. Hi can any one help with my poorly 088? It cut out on me mid cut as if was turned off while on full revs. i checked and there was no spark so changed plug and still no luck so i ordered a new genuine coil from mister solutions, it came today and i fitted it but im still getting no spark! ive tried disconnecting cable on coil that goes to stop switch and still no luck. is there anything ive missed or any recommendations on what to do next? Many thanks Simon

  19. ive got 2 old pairs of Hiax protector pro chainsaw boots in size 10.5 if anyone wants them, there not in the best condition but ideal for someone just doing some training etc and a shame to just throw them away. ive also got a old tatty pair of stihl hiflex chainsaw trousers in large i think same again a need a bit of sewing and a good wash. The mrs wants them gone asap as she says i keeping to much junk lying about the house lol, i dont want anything for them but if someone does have them and there happy with them maybe make a donation to arbtalk.
  20. im taking delivery of my brand new quadchip chipper next week, when i ordered it the dealer gave me the choice or round or square blades, i went for square blades as thats what the demo machine had on it when i used it. But just wondering if anybody runs theres on round blades yet and if so does it perform as good a with square blades? and what is the chip quality like?
  21. Hi Jack ive never used this bloke but hes offered me his offered me his processing services before, his names kevin 07957612855 hes based around by the stupony somewhere.
  22. I waxoyled my 90 using a underseal gun and and keep filing an old empty shutz tin with waxoil and worked it perfectly. i prob only needed to mix 20% white spirits aswell to get it to spray.
  23. Thanks for response IC TREES:thumbup1:, so nothing out of the ordinary to be worried about then.
  24. Hi im currentley in the market for a new chipper and split between timberwolf 150 and a quadchip 160. i know timberwolfs inside out as ive been using them for the last 10 years, but im not 100% sure about greenmechs. my main concerns are. 1, how easy are they to maintain greeaseing etc 2, how easy are they to change blades/rotate 3, can blades be sharpened at local machine shop like timberwolf blades or need sending away and if so how much does it cost? 4, how much does a new set of blades cost and how many sharpens can you get of a set? if anyone could let me know any of these details that would be great:thumbup1: Many thanks Simon
