On the head between the motor and the belt pulley, soft enough when the splines went but better there than on the motor shaft. Bit feeble looking to transmit 85 hp. Going back to the price of parts why is it available at £375 in UK but €685 over here all coming from the same manufacturer, even allowing for exchange rate thats barely €500.
Who is the importer?
its actually mc connel ireland thats the importer, but there's your problem there.Kverneland Group Ireland formerly I.A.M.

its not as bad as a 6,000 euro difference in a new hedgecutter.
mc connell ireland are just taking the piss out of anyone buying mc connel stuff and if right was right, people would boycot them, but the irish man wont do that, he has no backbone.
he is the kind of lad that will let the importer fcuk him over while at the same time giving out about it down in the pub.
Agree with what your saying tinman but breaking down on a Friday afternoon and having to wait until Monday for parts to be shipped isn't much addition either. Loofah dealers here know the craic but there's not a lot that they can do about itits actually mc connel ireland thats the importer, but there's your problem there.

What kind of parts would you have in stock? I'd have normal wearing parts here, couple of bearings and I'd usually carry a spare hose too. Carrying the the likes of a joystick or gearbox or a spare motor would be a bit too costly for me although at this stage I'd have must of them in stock from fixing broken ones...Do many of ye stock parts? When buying a new machine I think it's a good idea to get some of the more common to break parts and have them instock, either buy them with the machine or source as cheap as you can elsewhere, when broken down and in need of a part there is little time for pricing or waiting. We keep a few bits for the baler and wrapper, not much, but better to have them than be looking for them late at night or over, if any of ye are stuck I'll lend a part, if it's any help.
Dealer here has a great stock of parts but unfortunately with a price to match because of the price they're buying them from the importer.Thats down to the dealer not importer

I'd need one with good splines to copy or else have to undo motor hoses and a lot of messing with oil.Would u not get it made

id keep a fair shot of stuff here, normally as you say id buy common spares with a new machine if i was buying.Do many of ye stock parts?
