Did the stress control work for a time after you got it back from service?

Ive been a beekeeper for over 30 years but have given up this year after getting gradually worsening reaction to venom. We had a saying that bees in a wood don't do any good. my best producing hives had sun for most of the day but I guess one has to site them where one has space.
-
Its been taken down so probably was a scam
-
Interesting that, when I blow up the picture there looks like the outline of three bolt heads . what year/model is you TW?
-
Tis a beast to be sure! mine is only two feet long with a four pound weight. Is that an "O" ring you have holding the weight front sliding around? slim
-
I think we may have our wires crossed, the extended spline is not part of the motor.
-
A slide hammer didnt come close to extracting the one I did,I welded a one inch nut in the centre and the wound a bolt into it which jacked it out. The first attempt with one run of weld around the nut broke away so it took several runs to hold the pressure of yanking it out. To undo the three retaining bolts I used an impact driver. The cost of the four new parts inc vat and postage was £118.22 but if you dont want to replace the opposite side parts, in the forground of the first pic, deduct £41.50. I believe the newer TW has the extended roller from new?

The torx head retaining bolt are a pig to remove as is extracting the old drive spline which involves some heavy duty welding.
-
Hopefully there is nothing wrong with the drive motor its the splined drive flange inside the roller that has worn out so will need replacing. I did the same job a month or two back and fitted an extended drive flange and bearing. Clean around the face outside the centre hole and you should see three recessed retaining bolts slim

No it doesn't to me either! Judging by the crud around the engine its been running for a long time since the piston was replaced in the scored cyl , its going to be a more expensive job than I first hoped.
-
Just done a vac and pressure test to see if its worth carrying on and both are good so have taken the cyl off and not so good. It looks as though a new piston was fitted into a cyl that had been badly scored before as the circlips and wrist pin are in place. Any idea if this is an original cyl? has A50 stamped on top of head slim

Always fancied a 262xp to play with and found one at a boot sale last Monday. It had no pull cord, looked grotty but had brand new chain and chap selling said it was not seized so gave him the money. I put a new cord in and a drop test showed poor compression so tested it with gauge. It showed 100psi but I fueled it to try and she ran and cut pretty quite well for the condition.oh! it also has/had heated handles, wires are cut off, do all these 262xp's have them? Ive not taken the pot off yet and don't want to spend much repairing it other than my time so if its beyond a clean up plus a piston and a few other bits it will be under the bench with all my other projects:001_smile: If anyone breaking one of these or has any spares that may be of use please let me know? slim

Any help? http://s30387.gridserver.com/partsDiagrams/Dolmar%20PS-6000i%20and%20PS-6800i.pdf

Only 8 Kw to hot water!

Thanks for the reply its nice to know they work well. Quite a few of the jobs in small gardens my Son does, the branches/clippings have to hauled to the Tw so the Eliet may work by getting right up to the action for small stuff where the waste can be left on site.

Slow motion : [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBsNxfB9ZCM]Vipukirves slow-motion, part 2 - YouTube[/ame] I can't see it working on lot of the wood I split with my 30 year old Oregon maul but willing to be proved wrong.

Thats ok, it happens to most of us late hours forum addicts from time to time

Hi, may I suggest you re-read the thread and see which I post my reply pertains to. I have been refurbishing stoves since the late 1970's and in that time have done quite a few Villager BL's as I identified n the OP and also Yeoman Devon which I identified from post #20 The BL uses 12 fire bricks 9"x 4 1/2" x 1", 4 at the back,4 on the floor and two each side. slim

Your stove looks like a Yeoman "Devon" low canopy, Different company to Villager.

Hi, whats your opinion of the Eliet Minor, my Sons partner bought a brand new machine for him at a closing down auction but it never got commissioned as he thought it may be a bit small for his needs. We have put it up for sale but depending on what you think he may as well use it on smaller jobs to save hauling the Timberwolf around. thanks slim
-
Villager BL, around 8Kw there were never any numbers on these old stoves.

A pressure washer does a good job of getting rid of slime and grime
-
Its A pity your not closer, I'm thinking of getting rid of a Howard Yeoman plus a second one for spares.Its bigger than a 350 and a bit smaller than a Gem and will rip straight into virgin land.
-
If you can't find one it doesn't look too difficult to make a new one out of steel or fix a new end extending past the wear.

Anything you fancy here ? They also have parts and workshop manuals at 6 quid a pop
