Jensen a530t engine mounts/ engine position/ belt tension
swinny replied to swinny's topic in Large equipment
Right... interesting. It was just when i had flywheel bearings done the other year they said something needed sorting to do with this and cant remember what it was lol. Do the flywheel belts stretch much? Might be worth fitting new belts and re tensioning seeing if this makes much difference -
Forgot they did the new small tracked bandits... wheres the info Dean? Depth sweep and engine etc. -also weight. Then the dreadded price

Jensen a530t engine mounts/ engine position/ belt tension
swinny replied to swinny's topic in Large equipment
Anyone? Thought this might be a question treequip could answer -
Im just wondering what is there that holds the engine in place so im not missing anything on the jensen a530t... There are two legs out of the chassis and bolts that the engine pivots on... then at the other side an adjuster that drops the engine to increase belt tension. The problem i have is that when i look at the chipper from the front through the radiator grill the engine is slumped down by a good inch at the front left corner... Ive recently had the radiator re cored as the fold down grills have rubbed on thw rad core due to the engine being slumped down and things not lining up.... Anyone ever had this? P.s any spelling issues etc is down to this crappy i phone and fat fingers!!!

How many hours on the machine Stefan? Didnt you get it new?
-
Also a machine is only as good as its back up. Some have crap aftersales and some take your money and run. Good luck
-
I think in general you should take all opinions on here with a pinch of salt on here Simon. Look as what you need try some and make your decision suited to you

Dont you worry im a tight yorkshire man too but i know where my time is better spent. Qrm sell for 4.00 a tooth so will try these next... I find they wear quite bad depending on the ground. They wear up the tungsten so would be a lot of grinding to get a good edge?
-
That is the way most do it. To me im just gna wizz them. I even pay for the genuine ones. Busy doing all sorts dont need to add sharpening teeth aswell
-
Just what i was thinking
-
Glad i didnt buy it then! looked at another but will stay as i am Also i think when i change my tracked machine i'd go for at least an 8" machine
-
Not heard of them up to now. Heard the jcb's i mentioned like to set on fire on after some research i did lol shame as looked a nice machine
-
What model is that bob? Seen a nice jcb 527-67 for sale
-
Any links to this please? Not been on tree life website if they have one
-
I need to decide what to do with this donkey... 8' wide, bit too long really aswell Might move onto another trailer but still needs a grab etc at some point as still using chains at the moment. Any suggestions? Or just move it on and buy somethig else? I really do like a flat bed rather than normal timber trailers
-
No chance for a couple of hundred pounds. Id dig them out if i was you or up your budget to 1000-1500 and then thats for a pee wee grinder
-
That looks a great sized timber trailer. Would be just what i need! Most seem to big and numb but that looks bob on! How wide is it?
-
This debris netting... is it agricultural stuff? Cheers
-
Exactly what you do lol
-
Think youve talked yourself into the forestry ones there Tom. Might be a good investment if you plan to keep tractor for a number of years
-
I know what you mean. Get to end of day and had enough and just tip it out will still be the method i use i bet lol Whats this truck look like? Pics?
-
That does sound a good idea! Im going to try be a bit more organised and stack processor stuff and pile rings separate and then have a pile for bigger lumps that need cutting into rings. My other issue is that the chip pile is at the other end of the yard up on a messy bit. Theres always something lol but anything that can make the job easier and look after your health im up for!
-
Possibly yes but would need someone me better boots on as quite low! My only thing is ive spent money on things before that arnt suited to the job and just make do. I want something on top of the job

Love 3cx have you seen the prices they command now? Enthusiasts love them! Great machines
