I was asked to do some repairs recently to a pedestrian apple harvester for The Parrett cider company. The engine has been replaced with a new one as the old 1 had numerous issues, bearings and rollers have been replaced on the pickup radels then finally it was decided that the gearbox input shaft should be looked at but unfortunately parts for this gearbox are very hard to come by so it was decided to change the whole thing with a new axel and gearbox. I have sourced a hydrostatic axle from a ride on mower and made this fit. This has now made the harvester ready to collect apples to make this year's cider!!
