Thanks for reply's I got the head off, cant see any cracks but it looks to me as if the gasket on the right hand cylinder is damaged. Would you agree this would cause air bubbles in the coolant? When I say the engine overheated it did cut out as its got an overheat cut out, coolant was coming out the over flow and on checking the radiator I found most of the fins were closed up, I replaced the radiator and the fan as it had a broken fin ( broken fin may have damaged the radiator} it was only then I discovered the air bubbles in the coolant as I was checking coolant while engine was running.

I have an En Tec wood chipper I think En Tec became Timberwolf My chipper has a Diesel Kubota engine V1200Nd stamped on the engine and a sticker on the cylinder head cover V1205. The Engine recently overheated due to a clogged radiator, I have replaced the radiator and a new fan but am sure the head gasket is blown as getting air bubbles in the coolant, I want to take the head off at the weekend but if the head is cracked I cant find any replacement heads available in this country. Any advice on changing the head gasket or if head is cracked any where to get a new or refurbished cylinder head Will it be ok to reuse the cylinder head bolts Thanks

Hi my entec 30 dh chipper has an intermittent problem, will be working fine but very occasionally when its started again put to full revs the rollers wont turn. I go through various checks ie throttle on full, disconnect the hydraulic control from the red hand bar so can move the hydraulic control by the leaver by hand in case bar got bent. This is one of the first entec chippers it has stress control but no electric control or stop start reverse buttons its all done on the red bar push forward rollers stop pull bar back rollers reverse. Check a bit of wood has not jammed the rollers dont find anything wrong but start engine and rollers start again as if nothing is wrong It sounds to me that the chipper is on full revs as I know if revs fall rollers stop. but without a rev counter cant be 100%. air filter is clean I did clean the white mark that the stress control pick up senses, it was pretty dirty Am now wondering what this yellow wire is that is connected to the cooling system, could it be some sort of over heat rollers stop? chipper was ok when we finished today but would like to solve this issue Any ideas

Hi Im trying to remove the bottom roller on my entec DH 30 its same as Timberwolf 150 Ive removed the top roller , taken the bottom motor off ,undone the 2 allen bolts on the bearing side I put a ratchet strap around the roller and it moves freely but the spline drive on the roller is catching on the roller box so it wont come out. Ive had this roller out before and replaced the spline drive and it went back inn without having to remove the hopper so it should come out again. Any ideas Thanks

Hi am in the process of fitting new hydraulic infeed motors to my entec 30 dh chipper same as timberwolf 150 am also replacing the green plastic bearing bush, the old green bush was stuck in the roller the new one is a loose fit Is this correct ? Does the green bush need greasing and do the splines on the hydraulic motors to the rollers need greasing If so what grease should be used There are no grease nipples on this machine Thanks

My Entec 30 1998 model chipper same as Timberwolf 150 has very slow infeed rollers am guessing the hydraulic motors are worn out but just checking a few things before spending money Inside the hydraulic tank there is a filter that is screwed to the outlet port that feeds into the pump, you cant see the filter as its submerged in oil. looking online its called a suction filter and can cause problems if it becomes blocked {if clogged may restrict flow hence my slow rollers} I was thinking to change it but looking at the spares for this and similar machines there is no mention of such a filter Any one know about this filter and if its a changable part

Hi I have a Entec 30 DH 1997 Chipper with a Kubota 4 cylinder diesel its the same as a Timberwolf 150 Am trying to find out what RPM the engine should be running at while chipping and how I can check the RPM The rollers on the entec turn alot slower and they will jam much easier then my mates Timberwolf 150, his Timberwolf sounds to be working at a higher RPM I would like to check the RPMs on both chippers to compare Is there a reliable method of doing this Is there any recommendation of what is the ideal working RPM Thanks

Tipper motor and ram are off the old vehicle, the wiring including the 175amp fuse and switch gear were allready on the new vehicle. I never had a problem with the old set up but then I dont know what size fuse was in it. I will try a slightly larger fuse Thanks

I recently (christmas time)bought an ex demo mitsubishi canter tipper, I had the tipper body taken off and my old high sided body with old hydraulic ram and pump put on every thing has been working as it should untill today Today after tipping a heavy full load the body would not come down i traced this to a blown fuse on the lead that comes from the battery,the fuse is 175 Amp Little fuse MEGA This fuse the isolator switch and the up down switch are all oringal to the new vehicle ,is it possible the 175 amp fuse is good for say 1 ton tip if i try and tip 2 ton the fuse blows if so can i just put a bigger fuse if so how big ? or is it likely to be something else wrong

Chippers 21 years old. had a few issues with the hydraulics that I hope i have now fixed/ got the new fluid so want to change it
-
Hi I want to change the hydraulic fluid in my entec 30 DH chipper There is no drain plug on the tank, I was thinking to remove the outlet pipe but the way its positioned would make it difficult to catch the oil as it will spill out onto the chassis rail, the outlet is about 50mm from the bottom of the tank so would still have fluid in the tank. Was looking at suction pumps but not sure if they are any good, any suggestions Thanks
-
I had some one look at the chipper and they replaced the hydraulic pump Has been working ok on small jobs After a lot of chipping yesterday I noticed hydraulic fluid had leaked out of the seal between the filter housing and the tank (same place it leaked before but not as bad) I was not feeding the machine myself as i was climbing but did hear the chipper anti stress kicking in and also a few bits jamming between the rollers sometimes getting stuck for a few minutes with machine running. If the rollers jam up as a knuckle has got stuck could the hydraulic fluid get pumped past the rollers back to the tank causing to much pressure in the tank and the seal to leak? Also is there a breather on the hydraulic tank Any ideas why i get either too much fluid or pressure back in the tank causing the seal to leak Thanks

I have been asked to fell and grind a Plane tree in rear garden by an insurance company There is no access for a stump grinder so have been asked to fell to ground and treat to prevent regrowth, was going to use eco plugs. There are 2 mature Plane trees in the neighbors garden is there a chance the Plane tree stump I want to treat could be connected to these other 2 Plane tree roots system ? If stump is left untreated and any regrowth is removed ASAP will the stump die off and how long is it likely to take? Thanks

Bubbles in coolant but passes exhaust gas test?
bolla replied to SpringhallTreeCare's topic in Timberwolf
Hi just curious did you ever sort out the bubbles in the coolant I have a en tec 30 dh just checked the coolant after starting the engine and discoverd bubbles, Thanks -
Hi I have an Entec 30dh similar to Timberwolf 150 chipper My Hydraulic pump is bolted to the engine not belt driven The rollers seemed to be turning slower then usual but would some times speed up after being used for 15 minutes or so. While using the chipper this morning rollers going slow then hydraulic oil started coming out of the filter housing in spurts, the oil level was showing high. I switched off and even an hour or so later the oil level was still showing high. I took the motors off that turn the rollers and everything seemed ok, started engine and splines would turn, put back together and chipped for a little bit after 5 minutes hydraulic oil spurting out from filter housing again and rollers a bit juddery. Switched off When i got I unbolted the pump to see if anything was obviously broken but not sure what i am looking at, did notice the hydraulic fluid level had dropped. any ideas whats wrong Thanks
