Couple of things really
Who's or where is the best place for replacement parts ie knifes paddles etc
Also my inner lining of my flywheel cover is a bit mangled,over time I think a knife has had its wicked way and has been cut Way
I have the owners opp/parts manual but the diagram is a bit vague
Surgestions pics or any ideas much appreciated
(Mengeguru I have pm you by the way ?)

John at Alkmonton Tractors @mengeleguru or David Cowking 01200 446622 at Clitheroe are 2 of the best when it comes to Mengeles. Few bits and pieces on eBay if you know what you’re looking for.

Also Westlake Plough parts has a big shed of Mengele bits but you would need to know the part no. you need as it was all bought as bankrupt stock and they are not forager specialists. Most of the stuff is from the less common machines like a self-propelled or your sh25 (very few sh40 parts)

Best advice. Probably John is your better bet as he loves Mengele’s and knows them inside out to be fair!

In your opinion chaps
Mine has 10 knifes and 5 paddles
Knifes are to the max on the adjustment,there meeting up to the shear bar no proplem atm
But I'm thinking of putting extra paddles in to help with the blow or is 5 good enough with 10 blades ??

5 is sufficient, you may need to remove the flywheel (complete with the back-plate) to renew the housing liner, or you may get them out at the bottom. If the paddle tips are adjustable, why replace them ? why not take a grinder and put a square edge back onto them. If the flywheel still has forward adjustment, why replace the blades ? Check to see how compressed the bellville washers on the front of the shaft.

It's the top hood on the flywheel cover which is mangled up a bit
There's enough life left in the paddles so that's an option
Flywheel is moving up fine
Mine is quite easy it's got 2 Spring locking pins
I'll see if I can up load some pics so you can see what I mean
Thanks for all the tips chaps ?

Hope these come out ok Last pic is the top of the hood which is dented down
The piece protruding above it is the stone sharing guard
It's had a good smacking by the looks of it ?

Could be a time to consider an upgrade to a SH40?

You will buy one from £3-6k and parts are easier to get.

I'll have a look in the scrap bin...... I think our old one went with the last load but I'll take a look anyway. Tried desperately to sell it on but no takers
