Bobie01 22 #3 Posted July 20, 2012 ok that's good but I hope someone from Belgium, etc. had one that I could get because the shipping would be very expensive from the UK to Luxembourg But thanks Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH Raider10 17 #4 Posted July 21, 2012 Jeff, Ask wh1257 (Vincent) for if he has one for you. I knew he had a parts engine like that with the cover still on it. If I hear him I'll ask him too. Btw, for what do you need that cover, you bought another wheelhorse? just curious... P-J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WH Raider10 17 #7 Posted July 22, 2012 Voila jeff here ya go buddy, Vincent can help you out on the engine cover. Well for 200 euro's you can't go wrong! Only the snowplow itself is worth double over here. On the engine I'm sure I could help you out to see what's wrong with it. The only problem is that you don't live very close to me, about 200 km's from me I think? But after you said the engine has 2400 hours I think it has had it best time and now needs a rebuild I'd say. To start with pull the heads from the engine and see if your valves are closing all the way, gap them correctly and re-check for compression. It might has a stuck valve? Feel free to ask me for help and you're also welcome to come over with your engine if you can't find the problem. P-J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobie01 22 #8 Posted July 23, 2012 Thanks P-J but 200 km it s very far away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigian 1,234 #9 Posted July 24, 2012 Jeff.. Just out of interest I did a check on postal costs from the UK to Luxembourg... It should come in at under £10... I'm a bit worried when you say the engine has no compression though.. I'd investigate why there is no compression before spending any money on it.. Not trying to scare you but maybe you should have a look at this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobie01 22 #10 Posted July 24, 2012 Yes, I would not spend money before I have checked everything before , but I had thought that it would be difficult to find such a part, I thought it would take a very long time First I want to get the engine running 10£ that was very cheap normaly from Germany to Lux it is more than 10 Euro Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
