Happy Dude Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 hi, the table on my pederson 309 had worn through and i've been quoted a silly price for a replacement from robert pringles in glasgow. is there anywhere south of the border doing the parts for these stitchers?? thanks...

ironplanet uk900 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 These parts are always expensive, have you tried getting it repaired. Had it done quite a few times over the years. If not £100 quid is worth it to keeop it going We don't like spending money on these sort of things but I'm afraid its a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercoulson Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 hi dude, we supply parts for pedersens, the table is the same throughout the range. my guess is pringles get them from the same place as us and although the price may seem silly we cannot get them any cheaper. as for £100 this is nowhere near the price unfortunately. as planet said sometimes a good engineer can repair them if it is the front part that is worn away. if you want a silly price from us as well give us a call - 0116 271 7152 or pm me peter p.s. we also have a few spares for the 309 but not many as they are very rare - production of the 309 stopped many decades ago.

Happy Dude Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 if only it was £100, £206 inc the VAT said it had to be specially made over in denmark, plus post etc, my dad had one brazed years ago but it didn't last very long....

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 You can get them welded with Bucket Tip Welding rods Used to weld on the digger teeth for earth moving equip and in the mining industry. You wont wear that out in a hurry, should last 4 times longer than the original. Brazing is a cheap option and can be done many times as it wears down. Has the front surface broke through or is it just worn? You could also have a piece of High tensile or stainless steel brazed onto it to replace the worn area. Or buy a new one and have the old one done up as a spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Dude Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 it's worn right through and i've had to file it smooth as it was scratching the shoes. i don't know anyone who can weld it, there is a blacksmith up the road but it would probably be too small a job for him... looks like i'll need to splash the cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto Key Wizard Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Get the quote from Peter.... Any engineering company worth their salt should be able to rework the existing component by metal spraying/welding the worn areas & grinding/machining to original profile/shape, Giving you a repaired spare for future use.
