    I hope you are managing to keep my sawlogs lovely and clean! The firewood boys won’t mind, but my saws don’t like mud very much….😉
  2. Squaredy
    Very nice. Like your sawmill also.

    I will see what deal I get offered for the bits I need, thank you guys for the tips.

    Ooohh no not heard of them, I have always used Customville. I need a few parts right now so I will try them, as it is going to be a big bill...new springs all round, new fuel tank etc.

    Back in the early 2000s I had a grey import Toyota. Great car, utterly reliable. Generally no bother at all getting parts - Toyota actually had a special department for supplying their grey imports. I can imagine some makes may be less organised however. At the time there were a lot of grey import Toyotas coming into the country; not sure if this is still the case. I currently own a 1990 LHD Ford F250 pickup and I wouldn't even dream of contacting a Ford dealer for spares. Luckily their are specialist independent dealers who are generally very helpful.

    Very nice. Why more people don't mill Birch and Alder I have no idea. Such a waste.

    Well here is the new sprocket. Arrived today as promised - great service from John Deere Forestry. I will update the thread again when it is fitted and working OK, but it looks fine to me. Thank you again everyone who helped me find the part locally and save time and 75% of the price.

    WOW if only all website problems were as easy to fix... Nice one Steve! I will take great pleasure each morning when I open Arbtalk, whilst having my cuppa in bed, to look at Today's posts. So glad you didn't put Today's Post's.

    Just wondering really. I don't have much to say except the one thing that really annoys everyone.... the lack of an apostrophe "s" in "Today Posts".

    Is this a thread for general forum feedback or is this not welcome......?!
  11. Squaredy
    Thanks Rob, it looks like I am sorted now however.

    I have just spoken to John Deere Forestry in Perth, and thanks to now having the correct JD part number (thanks to @StihlGreen) I have ordered two and they will be arriving tomorrow. Cost for the two of them is less than the cost for one from Peterson NZ. It will arrive tomorrow so I will update here to confirm when I have checked it is correct! Thank you to all you helpful Arbtalkers who have helped me track down this part.
  13. Squaredy
    I will check if it is still available tomorrow...
  14. Squaredy
    Thank you that sounds very helpful. I will get on to this tomorrow.

    Someone I know has a Lumbermate 2000 for sale for a fair price (£1500 or so I think). I believe this mill was a decent manual mill that was made for many years, and this one has had little use. I can ask him if it is still available if South East Wales is not too far for you?
  16. Squaredy
    Thank you I will bear that in mind. I will try and get the specs off the Lucas one and compare.
  17. Squaredy
    Mmmmm yes thank you that is close. Maybe I should contact them. Thank you.

    Yes I also followed that lead. I rang a John Deere dealer but they couldn't help. And if you try and buy it from that website it is a firm in the USA who seem to offer a manufacturing service. I would be better off buying it from NZ and at least know it is going to work. I am sure there is someone around who has this part, but I am struggling to find them. Thank you for trying though.
  19. Squaredy
    Yes I am sure there are some great engineering workshops around. I am currently waiting for one to make a new mounting plate for a new motor for another machine. Sadly my experience with another local engineering firm was awful. Took lots of money and bodged the rebuild of the motor.
  20. Squaredy
    Thank you but I really want an off-the shelf solution.
  21. Squaredy
    No, not thought of that, I will contact them tomorrow. Thank you.
  22. Squaredy
    Thank you for the suggestion. My concern about that is I cannot show them exactly what it is meant to look like as my only one has wear. And how much time might it take to try and spec it out, with no guarantee of success?
  23. Squaredy
    They are all being sold individually, but I suspect mainly they will become dining tables. And if any of my customers simply screw on tripod legs to each corner the slab will self-destruct on my command.
  24. Squaredy
    Wish I had this Cedar of Lebanon log at twice the length, but at fully five feet wide and eight feet long still the largest slab I have produced so far. I am praying that the largest section of this tree is also free of nails... Come to think of it handling the log was difficult enough as it was, certainly neither my forklift nor telehandler would lift it.

    I need to replace the chain drive sprocket on my Peterson Dedicated Wide Slabber. This is what it looks like. Peterson in NZ have offered me one at a cost of £220 or so, and three weeks wait. I have also tried the agent in the UK (Riko - they suggested I try Peterson direct); and I have tried Rob at Chainsawbars who could not help. Any more suggestions? The number stamped on it is F046098, which I have tried to track down as well but no luck. If I have to pay the £220 and wait three weeks I will, but what is the betting there is someone in Europe who stocks this part for another use if only I can find them?!
