Nice one Andy and thanks for the feedback.. Jase.

Thanks Andy , you too... Jase.

Ok I've just heard back from Jimmy (happy)and he has confirmed that all current flywheels for Quads are indeed balanced with disc blades fitted . When the first Quads were introduced with the square cutters , the flywheels were obviously balanced with squares and the extra bolts and spacer weights were supplied , should the owner wish to swap to discs.. I hope you can follow this.. Jase..

I have just messaged Jimmy , he is on the balancer some of the time but also does flywheel refurbs, hopefully he will get back to me soon. With regards to the disc blades , we have always felt that due to the way they cut through the brash , they are kinder on everything in the driveline, especially the flywheel bearings. Maybe PeteB can remember these kits that were supplied with Mk1 Quads for customers that wanted to switch from square to round cutters ?? Jase.

This man is almost spot on... Do you have a set of disc blades you can bolt on to try ? I'm almost 100% sure all the Quad flywheels are now balanced with disc blades on unless specified that square blades were fitted and the square blades from memory are heavier than disc blades which typically leave the factory somewhere between 620-650g. From memory , which is bad , in the days when we were shipping Quads out with square blades , they were supplied with a kit just in case you wanted to fit disc blades and this included longer bolts and machined weights that were added to the bolt. I can maybe speak to one of the lads that does the balancing later on today to confirm this and get back to you. If you don't have a set of disc blades , where abouts are you based ? Disc blades are the best option anyway in my opinion.. Jase.

The AA I believe...

Engine cradle pivots worn ? Maybe engine cradle twisted ?

Welcome along Tez...?

Fixed ?

Why not take the plunge and buy one of those pneumatic oil suckers? We bought one primarily to change the oil on Quadchips...?

Sorry , only just seen this , I'm about if it's not too late..

Within reason.. Designed in house , steel is laser cut , folded and welded and finally powder coated. Obviously various components are brought in such as engines and hydraulic valves and motors.

No , the GreenMech chippers are all completely manufactured at Alcester in the UK.

Nice one , thanks for the feedback..

I do...... Flue thermometer.

Interesting, I hope it actually comes to something..

Stu , I'm on holiday this week but as suggested above , have you emailed GreenMech with that info ? Jase....

From memory , the end cap is less than £30 and I doubt the detent is much more.. Jase.
-
Is that a 'bib' valve ? If so the control valve end cap (the part with the lever and alloy housing) is readily available as is the detent on the other end of the spool.. Jase.

It was shocking....
-
Look through it , or push/pull something through it ?
-
Have you bypassed the top motor ? Those were my thoughts regarding a bent shaft , hence why I ask if you've tried bypassing it ? I would also try bypassing the cooler before replacing the control valve. I think if the pump was knackered you'd just suffer with poor oil flow and not get the heat build up. Jase.
-
Just a thought , although you've fitted a different top motor and you tell me that roller turns freely , have you tried bypassing it by joining the hoses ? Jase.

Hi Gerbutt, The shaft seal isn't a common failure but not unheard of and not unexpected on a nine year old chipper like yours. You could also try bypassing the oil cooler but I've not known one to fail internally. Following our phone conversation last week I still maintain the problem is most likely due to the control valve causing a restriction and resulting in heat build up. Why not order the new valve and If it doesn't cure the problem we'll see what we can do ? Alternately you could remove each pressure hose to check for a delamination. Jase.
