Hi, from what I've seen in the pictures the fan was certainly the wrong way round....

Any news...?

Does the engine still stop if you press the red palm switch on top of the infeed chute ? If not then this is the wire that connects to an earth on the back of the engine..

GreenMech have done 'one off' specials to suit certain truck requirements.

Ok, generally there is enough tension exerted on the belts without having to alter the position of the nuts, if they have been adjusted then firstly you'll need to back them off to release any additional tension. Then remove the 'R-clip' from the bottom mount for the tensioner (this will be used later to keep the tensioner in its compressed state ). Now place a small block of wood on top of the aluminium pulley and using a lever carefully positioned under the exhaust manifold, lever down on the block of wood to compress the spring. With the spring fully compressed , if you look carefully there is a small hole in the outer tube of the tensioner assembly, this should align with a hole on the inner rod, allowing the 'R -clip' to be inserted and the assembly will then be locked in its compressed position. If difficulty is encountered compressing the tensioner then it may be that the tensioner has seized due to lack of grease, in this case a liberal spraying of WD40 will hopefully free it off. With the tensioner locked it's now safe to remove it or change the belts. I hope this helps......

After studying the pictures again I'm sort of fairly sure, almost, but it's hard to tell, is the fan on the right way round...? If you look at the first picture, if the fan was turned the other way around then it would be more aggressive . A clearer picture would show it for sure.. Ok, after looking at a new fan today I can confirm that the 'fan' is definitely fitted the wrong way round.....

Good advice from Pete, I would pay particular attention to the sealing of the cold compartment because if there is foam or edging strip missing then instead of the radiator drawing in cold air it can instead recirculate hot air from the engine compartment. Are you losing coolant ? If you run the engine with the rad cap off are you getting air bubbles in the top of the radiator ? Also there is a damper built into the crankshaft pulley and these have been known to fail on your engine.. To test this try turning the engine over on the cooling fan , you'll probably need to push the fan belt in along its run between the pulleys to keep it tight , what you're trying to see if is you can turn the pulley at the back of the engine that drives the chipper flywheel ? If the bonding on the crankshaft pulley fails the pulley can virtually " freewheel" so you don't get the positive drive to the cooling fan but this can be hard to detect. It's easy to diagnose on a chipper with a digital read out of revs as the revs would be seen to fluctuate but on your chipper it would only show up as poor cooling and maybe "No stress" issues.

The GreenMech chippers are all designed and manufactured in Alcester, Warwickshire, UK..

I can assure you that the CS100 is only sold by GreenMech.........

I would recommend using an Ash can or similar though to avoid the risk of filling your 'Dyson' with hydraulic oil.........

I agreee that looks too vulnerable for sure .....

And, if you opted for the GreenMech......... You wouldn't need the 'toolbox'.............

Very nice...

Unfortunately that's Isuzus price, very similar to Kubotas prices I believe..?

That was for Ty....... That was probably done especially for you Stu as we knew your limited abilities....:-) Sent from my C5303 using Arbtalk mobile app

Charlie, call 01789 400044, option 2 at any time after 8.00 am tomorrow and I can tell you the spec..

Wow, looks like a new un.....

Shaunpaul, sorry I've only just seen this, I've messaged you... 😄 Sent from my D5803 using Arbtalk mobile app

He is..

Think there was an article about it in 'Classic Tractor' magazine a month or so ago and it was definately used for that purpose.... Sent from my C5303 using Arbtalk mobile app

I've seen this before and if I remember correctly is was built for moving pallets of turf on and around football stadiums, hence the dimensions which would allow it access via the players tunnel........
