  1. That's the second batch we've had in and done 29 total for the same customer. It is repetitive but it's chargeable labour We will strip them in sets so for example the larger set (Jacobsen fairway) is a set of 5 so we will strip them, get into the grinders, then rebuild one at a time as they finish in the grinder. Between me and the old man we have a pretty good system going.
  2. Just finished servicing and regrinding 16 cutting units for a golf club customer. Around 3 hours per unit.
  3. Nope! Runs like a dream.
  4. We had the head back from being repaired yesterday for the Stiga in our workshop. Had to go and buy a smaller torque wrench as the studs needed 5nm!
  5. You could look at towing a chipper as 'reward' as your being paid...
  6. EP2 high temp in bearings. Buy ours in boxes of 24. Hardly ever use the grey graphite stuff but it does have it's applications.
  7. What's your problem?
  8. Have any actually racked up that sort of hours yet? All in the maintenance though as you say, my old man modified TW150's flywheel bearings as got fed up of them failing. Turned it into a grease able system.
  9. Why aren't they on the Jensen Website? I look forward to heading Wefixit's supporting evidence over a letter written by themselves.
  10. This Maxwell Arb in my opinion.
  11. Anyone can send anyone a letter.
  12. Supporting evidence?
  13. Give me a gearbox drive any day!
  14. :thumbup1:Cool picture
  15. No one is running down Redwood, they just aren't Jensen any longer! Parts and current chipper stock only.
  16. TD5 disco 2 commercial 188k, someone I know has a td5 disco and rolled over 300 now!
  17. I had to replace a pair of blades on a Ducker the other day due to one being cracked. Machine is in affect a TP 150 and were £120 each plus vat.
  18. Seen a handful being towed around by SSE. Not sure if they are owned or on test from TW
  19. Personally I'd steer clear unless it's a family car and you tow say a boat twice a year. Had one come with my new Isuzu DMax couple of years ago. Came loose on me twice so had a proper one fitted. Was towing couple of thousand miles a month though.
  20. Just put one on our service van which is a Vauxhall Vivaro. £75 delivered I think and fitted in a afternoon. Towed 2T the other day perfect.
  21. I don't think anyone is running down there customer service. I've used them in the past and couldn't be more helpful. The dealers that have posted here are just stating the new Jensen arrangement which appears to be bringing some conflict.
  22. Yeah same as that. Here's the head after I started to clean it out. The whole head was solid. One blown HG
  23. Nah fine, just know it's limits and be the manual stress control.
  24. We've got one of those in at the minute. Air cooled diesel that blew the head gasket. Cooling fins never cleaned and completely chocked up solid. Valve guide is a lemon shape too!
  25. GM CS100 comes with a pair of shims and a correct thickness feeler gauge from factory.
