Bloody thing refuses to stop running, which is a real pain. Local dealer replaced the earth billydo, in the handle but problem persists Have you had this problem??? what was your solution.

Love it

Well got the reply for Arbil "The part you require is now obsolete, but the release knob has change slightly on how it fits, unfortunately Tirfor do not have any up to date drawing to show you the new part. Enclosed old drawing. the release Knob No. 1433 has change and know fits into No. 1426. price as follows Release Knob No. 151795. @ £9.96 + vat Pin No. 1575. @ £1.28 + vat Circlip. No. 82646. @ £0.90p + vat Carriage extra or you can arrange your self." Also sent me a old parts diagram for the machine which I attach for reference. My Knob is just fine so it looks like for a couple of quid I'm back in business. 3 cheers for the boy and girls at Arbil, great service!!!!!!! Tirfor document.pdf

Have a bolt remover kit that might let you tap in and manage to remove what's left of the plug?????? Let me Know, and leg is still buggered but less so now only the size of a small balloon. Rhett

No not a shear pin, having just got off the phone to Arbil, who are being very helpful and sending me the parts diagram for the machine. They also can and will service the machine if needed. Thanks for the Speedy Lifting heads up.

Well I have spoken to Arbil, who sent me a parts diagram for their TU32 model, which was not the same as mine but at least I now know I need a new clutch pin and not a thingy for the wotsit. Best guess is that they serviced/ LOLER these for the army. Have mailed them back with these photo's but not had a reply as yet, might be the inclusion of photo's has sent my message into their spam box?? Just as an aside given that this was army issue, why no carrying handle ???

Bought an old ex army tirfor, that has given great service since purchase. Unfortunately I have had the Clutch pin break. Wondering if anyone has had a simular problem and how they sourced the part/parts. I have attached hopefully a picture that might help identify the make model. Many thanks

An other tree butcher has recently acquired this new saw. I have had an opportunity to use it and found it was slow to get on the power band in comparison to the T200. My T200 still works. For the foresee able future I think I will stay put, if only my service engineer could fix the saw not stopping when I would like.

I'm paying around 25 euro per sharpen and thats flat not shaped.

So do you post them back for resharpening???

Maybe its a Europe mainland first and the outer islands next:001_tongue:

Just got my freebie, by courier no less. Should fit the T200, anyone used one up in the tree as opposed to fencing and hedge laying??

Wellingtons burn very well indeed, but watch out for the black smoke :-)

Did no one want the firewood??? seems a waste to me to chip when it could heat the house .

Worked flat out this morning taking down a leylandi next to a house, and running it through the chipper. Then off for a very nice lunch in a nice restaurant , then home for a shower and a snoooozze. Best of both worlds???
