Thanks all. I think my grease nipple is missing. There just a hole on the large flat face. Best get some grease nipples ordered. I’ll have a look and see if I have an inspection cover there. Thanks all

Where do you mean by the top of the UJ? On the flat faces?

Is anyone able to tell me where they have hidden the grease nipples for the 3 uj’s on the roller shafts. I spent maybe half and hour feeling round with my fingers trying to find them. I would expect them to either be in the centre of the UJ or between 2 of the yokes. Ended up giving up after loosing the feeling in my hands. cheers all

Had it running for a good 5-6 hours today and hasn’t done it once. Managed to get through 3/4 of a tank of diesel with no problems. Will see what happens tomorrow and god from there.

It’s definitely been serviced, oil and filter is all new. It’s a 2016 machine for reference. It’s out tomorrow so I’ll see how I get on. As suggested I’ll let it run low on diesel and have a look in the tank, will get another inline filter and some fuel hose as change those and see where that gets me. I’ll report back when I know more, thanks for the help

Didn’t think about this, thanks for pointing it out. Doesn’t seem to be using any coolant but going to keep an eye on it this week. They did clean the machine off before I collected it so might be that water managed to get into the machine that way. I’ll see how it goes over the next few days and report back. Thanks for your help all.

TH white changed it twice, I’ll try again and see if that cures it. Thank you.

Was using my Jensen 540 today and a few times over the course of a few hours the engine would bog down and it would chuck out white smoke. I’d drop the revs to stop it stalling give it 30 seconds to clear and then would be fine again. Only seemed to happen while tracking the machine around. While chipping it didn’t have any problems. Also ran the machine yesterday and it didn’t do it once. Its literally just had a full service and the tank flushed. Prior to me picking it up 2 days ago it had been sat in a dealers yard for 6 months not doing anything as the control box had failed. I bought it and had it dropped at TH whites who did the control box plus the full service and probably only ran for an hour or so there. Does anyone have any ideas of where I should start looking? cheers all

Don’t know if your budget can stretch but this is for sale as an ex demo from field and forest https://fieldandforestltd.co.uk/range/used/yanmar-sv19-arb/

Echo dsc2500 t hands down the best battery pruning saw you can buy

I have mine done every year in my hilux. Can’t remember what Toyota recommend but I only do 6-7k miles a year in it. Personally I don’t think it would do the engine and good to leave it 3 years and definitely not 30,000 miles. Oil and a new filter is cheap, a new engine £££££

Has anyone run a 540t? Trying to find info about them on the web but seems to be very little in the way of any reviews on them. How do they compare to the more modern stuff? cheers all

Glad you’ve had a trouble free 3 years. How’s the paint holding up after 3 years? The thing I’m having a little trouble getting use to is the 25hp engine, hence why I’d like to have a look at the 205.
