05rich Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Seen that place before, Rich! What has happened to it now, is it on the market for development or what then? well , i am glad to say houses are not being built on it tris its already sold , nobody knows who to yet , but the word is that wynstay (is that the right spelling?) are having the back workshops and a small supermarket (nisa,spar etc) are having the front shop and stores part.

jordantaylor Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 you really have been busy then rich, i went to nottingham many years ago when the 10 series was big on the market. its good to see what goes on at the dealers, makes a change to just seeing working equipment. or whats out on the yard. have you had many problems with the 7R series? ive heard quite a few havnt been put together properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.watson Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 oh dear rich, the 7280r in bits is not a good advert for us deere fans. the blue tractor and red tractor brigade on here are going to love this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalethecaptain Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 That is one hell of a job you have on there! I hope the new workshop has an overhead gantry crane or the HSE man will wet his pants! Out of interest, do you work on hours to do the job under warranty or is it a set allowance? I have rebuilt a number of Voith, Renck, IHI, and Lohmann Stohlterfort gearboxes and epicyclic transmissions for commercial ships, but there is always two or three of us doing it, and we usually have to call in the heavy lifting gear as well. You have way more sundry parts to take off than we do, pro drives, hydraulics etc. You need a good memory or good quality control! And at least the machines are still relatively new, taking apart gearboxes that have 50,000 hours on them and 8 years of grime and paint is seriously not fun.
