Tw 18/100g es problem. Where do I stand??
gensetsteve replied to Squirrel 87's topic in Maintenance help
As someone who services generators daily I put myself in the other persons shoes. How would I like to be approached if I had carried out the service. The last thing on my mind would be charging for further work more getting the customer up and running. When you service a machine often you can disturb something or new parts can fail shortly after. Annoying but hardly the end of the world. If I have too much work the first customers to go are bad payers the second ones to go are the chippy ones. Talk to them nicely if that fails you always have the dummy spitting option to fall back on. -
I was watching one of these used chippers on ebay. The seller thought it was 30k New but a quick google shows they can be bought brand fire new for 10k + vat. I am still looking for a hydraulic feed chipper for my large garden. I was hopeing to buy the ebay one for 4k but it made 7k and its 8 years old. There is a posch one with conveyor out on ebay but I have no idea if they would do the job. The conveyor may be better for us to load tonne bags rather than spit it all over the hedge and lawn. Anyone have any ideas ? Would and entec treebusta do the job.

We used to produce tonnes of the stuff with the chain bar on the processor but with todays sueing culture we were concerned about the bar oil in it.

Give it to someone who makes bricks in exchange for the odd bag.

Sold thanks for looking -
Lots of different ways of looking at this. My kindling is more pottering than graft, baking bread as one of my helpers has pointed out. Not so much need to as enjoy it. I paid my mortgage off in 13 years so can now work as much or little as I need. My plan was always to sprint for 25 years and plod for the last twenty where as a lot of people slog away for 45 years with nothing to show for it. If you work hard for 20 years and make your self ill well who,s to say you would not have got ill dossing about, with some assets behind you can recover with some piece of mind. Everyone is different you have to find your own pace no sense being miserable there are no dress rehearsals in life.

I work 40 hrs a week on the generators and often potter about for another 40 hrs with my kindling business. The kindling is more of a hobby business which I enjoy. I can work with the weather as some can be done in doors so rarely get rained off. We work long hours but have at least 2 months on holiday every year. If I fly out to ( hostile areas ) to sort out generators I have worked 20 hrs with 4 hrs sleep for weeks at a time. I stay healthy on fruit and veg then and lots of it.

I have about 3 ifor williams trailer loads available of Larch cordwood. I bought it to try through my woodmizer then through the kindlet. Too many knots and to much work so if any one wants it for £10 a tonne I can load with a bob cat. About 8-10 tonnes in total.

How can a chain bar set fire to hydraulic oil. The chain bar is being lubricated by oil anyway. If someone has forgotten to put the oil on then its operator error.

I dont have a nail gun but did buy a bostitch compressor a few years ago to take on the van to blow out air filters etc. The best thing about it is they run much higher pressures than normal compressors so ideal for blowing up lorry tyres. Not sure if a normal compressor would work so well with a nail gun due to lower pressure.

whats a pepper pot ?

Late high mileage vans always seem to work better for us. 4 years old with 100k on the clock normally means a large company has sent them in for proper servicing. Older low mileage one man band vans tend to have alot of town miles with cold starts and cheap servicing with things skimped on. I think you probably made the right choice.

Timberwolf 2004 TW150 DHB stalls after revving

Cheap non genuine fuel filters are not always bad news. I would rather have a handfull of cheapos than expect a genuine one to last a few years. You can get a bad batch of cherry and it will block a genuine filter as quick as a cheapo. Expect more fuel problems in the future with 5% bio now in the fuel. -
I am sure they will limp around for a few months with a tea cup full of oil rather than the 2.8 litres they should have. But wont be alot of good. I change my 4x4 diffs 25k or everytime they have been under water. My BMW transmission oils have just been done at 145k but they are supposed to be sealed for life. Oil =£10 new diff = £1800 bit of a no brainer really. If your pinion seal is leaking keep a close eye on the level.

Is there any oil in it. Are the brakes dragging.

If you have any spare blocks drop some chain oil and try jizer for a couple of hrs then hose.

I bought a £1000 gas barbeque at an auction about 5 years ago for £40. It has a rotary thingy which has done several chickens at a time, pigs, and buffalo if you can find one. Problem is it turns out its cheap chinese crap and we have used it to death and can only get spares from America. I am thinking of spending £500 this time but does anyone know of a reasonable quality one that we can get spares in the uk for it in future. It must have an animal spinner

I have come across coils that struggle when hot. Not sure if there is less magnatism when hot, the coil has less insulation when hot or if the air gap between rotor and stator changes with heat expansion. Or it could be a rich mixture which floods saw when hot but helps when cold.
-
Did you throw out the old fuel and fill with fresh mix.

the corn trailers I have owned the 6 tonne was 6 cu metres and the 3 tonne 3 cu metres. So I guess you processed 10 cu metres in a day. Two of us process 20" stuff with a vertical splitter in 6 hrs we get 8 cu metres done and stop for dinner.Our 20" stuff is alot easier than your 3ft stuff. Big rings are hard work.

Inside the ram I am assuming the 1x37 has one ram. If the seal leaks in side the ram you cant see the fluid run back. On the other hand it could be something completely different. Hopefully someone who has owned one will help. Barnsley bob and Steve Bullman had one. Do you have a workshop manual.
-
blocked filter ? alot of machines clean the hyd oil on the return. You may have changed it after your flood but may find its blocked again after a few hrs use. The other thing maybe the seals on that side of the ram are shot and oil is passing to the return.
