    vermeer 600 won't keep up

    Check that the governor is working properly. Broken spring, linkage fell off etc. That could be a cause of the problem.

    synchro is shot. gotta pull the tranny to fix it . depending on mileage, you might as well do the clutch at the same time . 2/3 of the expense is the re and re of the tranny.

    electro clutch make and number for rg1625?

    I had the same bearing go on one of my machines, caused the clutch to drag and make a horrible metal on metal noise. It did take some perseverance, but I was able to split my clutch and replace the bearings only at a cost of about $60. There are 3 pieces to the clutch, and the hard part is...

    electro clutch make and number for rg1625?

    That should be all. You probably won't need a puller to get it off. They aren't on there that tight, it is primarily the key that keeps it tight. I can usually just pull them off with my hands. There is probably a spacer washer between the hyd pump pulley and the engine, make sure you don't...

    adding a filter to a dump trailer

    If your trailer has a vertically (front mounted) mast, the water is probably getting in past the seals of the hoist. We were having the same problem, covered the top of the mast with a piece of pond liner and hose clamp & haven't had a problem since.

    arborist course

    Hey Ontario Logger. Humber and Sir Sanford both have the arboriculture courses, and as far as I know the curriculum is close to the same. The only difference is, humber has the 2 year (2 winters) apprenticeship, which is funded by the government. I think my guys got in this year for around...

    Couple of Maintenance ? on my Bandit 90XP chipper

    The only way that I can understand the fuel system losing its prime, is if air is getting into the system somewhere (loose fitting, crack in fuel line, deteriorating gasket on the fuel filter etc. My spare chipper can sit for 6 months without being run, and always fires right up. As far as...

    076 years made

    I've got one, it runs great without any mods. It is a low reving saw compared to the newer saws. Considering how heavy the thing is, we only pull it out when we abosolutely have to. I got mine for $200 bucks since I was told that the engine was blown. The bar and chain were brand new and I...

    044/046 Crank -- SAME?

    One of my guys has an 046 with a blown crank, and an available good 044 crank kicking around. Can anyone tell me if these cranks are interchangeable? The thought of spending $275 on a crank doesn't float his boat and since Baileys doesn't carry a crank for the 046 yet, he is looking at any...

    Eager Beaver 200

    I have an '87 Beever 200 with a 76hp cummins on it. They run great, but as the others said, you can't pound huge wood through them all day. As far as the broken keys goes, we found that they were wearing because the hydraulic motors weren't supported at the ends, and were flopping around. We...

    Where should my winch go??

    :buttkick: The rope works great, but doesn't like abrasion. If you are going to be dragging wood across the ground, go with steel. If you will be lifting the butt end off of the ground before dragging, go with the rope. Otherwise, you will be shortening the rope all the time when it breaks...
