Apparently hyperlinks don't work on RUclips. Anyway I just went on Amazon and ordered a motor from Carolina tarps. I got a late duty 700 watt one they're designed to roll tarps on a dump truck but they work great for this too.

So I went online on Amazon actually. And I just looked up a tarp motor for rolling tarps on like a dump truck. And then I just matched the shaft size so I could get the right one. It was from Carolina tarps.

Turn your speakers up. The sound is fine.

I can't post links in here, on Amazon, search for "Baomain Monolever Joystick Switch HKA1-41Z04". It's a single-pole switch though (not double-pole), so you can't reverse the polarity at the switch, so you will need 2 of these "Forward and Reverse Relay Module for Motor/Linear Actuator, Reversing Relay Module " from Amazon, 1 for Up/Down, 1 for Left/Right. Alternatively, so could use 4 automotive relays, 2 for U/D, and 2 for L/R, and google search for "reverse polarity relay diagram" for how to wire each pair of relays. The reason for the relays is that because the switch only open/close the circuit, it would always send the same polarity, so the motor would always spin the same way.

Please explain the symptoms a little more. How fast is the infeed roller rotating? Does your tractor big down? What type of wood? Does the infeed grab the wood?

@@larryjewett6990 Thanks for the reply! No, the infeed does not grab the larger limbs. It is currently turned all the way up (speed). I have to use the opening level to help feed it in. Sometimes, this process is laborious and futile. Tractor has plenty of power, wood is either fir or big leaf maple- species doesn't seem to matter, though.

@@jeffcesta2493 It might be that you have it turned up too high and it is just spinning on the wood. It should move slowly and feed the chipper knives at a rate that they can handle. Try slowing it down.

@@larryjewett6990 Thank you sir. That helped some, but I still have to wrestle the larger pieces in. My wrestling technique is improving, though. I also noticed that putting the narrow end into the chipper first allows it to gradually feed and work up to the larger diameter. It's not something that many people probably try. Most feed the thicker end in first because branches fold in better. Thanks for your help!

@@jeffcesta2493 If the tree is Soo large that the infeed roller will not ride up over it and grab it, you can push down on the red bar and raise the roller so it can grab the tree. If you are chipping trees at the upper limit, your infeed roller should be going real slow, or it will feed the tree faster than the flywheel can chip it.

It is not powerful enough

44" 2 stage. I sold that tractor and have another one.

Ebay. You need to just do an internet search and it is hit or miss.

I was lucky and found one like someone else had used. It was a no name unit.

Very good! The mirrors can be purchased from other sources as well. I believe that at the time that I bought them, I discovered that they were also used on some Jeep models and other vehicles.

Definitely. Love it.

Sorry late response. I drilled through it and inserted a bolt at the lower location and pin in the upper position.

Thank you. Glad that I could help.

It doesn't have a name on it. I messaged the seller and he doesn't have any more at this time. I recommend that you search the internet for something similar. I have noticed some with a shaft instead of a hole. It would be easy to make a coupler. Sorry.

I will check the rocker switch brand tommorow night when I get home.

@@larryjewett6990 You really did an excellent job to make it looks so professional.

@@larryjewett6990 Thank you.

I think it is too big to be a window regulator. I'll take a video this afternoon.

I have added another video entitled "3 point hitch snowblower chute rotator in action" . I couldn't figure out how to add it to these comments.

B7800, 30hp, nice work horse.

That tractor has 22 hp at the PTO, which is what matters. Min for the chipper is PTO 19 hp so clearly it does well for smaller tractors.

Thank you

I'LL find it and provide link.

@@larryjewett6990 I think I sent you a PM on facebook. I searched EBAY and found nothing like this motor so a brand or model number would allow me to look other places beside EBAY. The link would be good too because maybe they relisted some and the search just isn't finding it. Thanks again, Guy

I sent a message to the Ebay seller to see if he has more or has source information. There are some with shafts in the gearbox. You could probably use one of those if you created a coupler with a bolt to the shaft. Will let you know what I find. 207-212-9632 text or call. Thanks

I would tend to go with both. I was thinking while snowblowing this last storm that it would be nice to have a rear view. I need to check feasibility since rear Curtis cab panel is plastic. Not sure how visibility would be through clear plastic. I would not get rid of side mirror s because they allow me to see snowblower edges for clearance near obstacles. Not possible with rear view. I also added driveway markers to the sides of the snowblower to help with backing visibility. Mirrors are same as autos. I use both center and side. Side more than center. thanks

It will take up to 6-8" wood. You have to adjust the feed rate according. Slower for ha d wood, faster for soft woods. Even faster for small brush.

I had 3 different models before finding this one used. I started with a DR and got tired of pushing brush into it. I tried a Valby with Hydraulic feed, but tractor didn't have enough hydraulic capacity to run the feed. This one works great with the hydraulic pump running off of the PTO.

I like the three bearing design on the woodmaxx, but I like the fold up chute on the W.M. Machine. I hear you on pushing the brush in...I have a craftsman 8 HP and it wears me out to produce a few chips. I hate the direct drive with the engine sucking all the leaves and pine needles in, not to mention all the trimming you have to do to even get brush through. It doesn't do very well shredding leaves either, even with the baffle in. My friend has a DR with 18 HP he'll sell me for $300, but I need something bigger. There is a like new wallenstein BX62 an hour from me for $2750, a great deal, but it also runs off the tractor's hydraulics and I have an old IH B414 diesel with no remotes. I can run a remote, I have to shut off my 3 pt hitch lift, so I want one with a self contained hydraulic system. I don't like Woods because of expensive special drive belts, that more or less levels me looking at woodmaxx, woodland mills, and betstco.Betstco is $2250, woodmaxx is $3000, and woodland mills is $3200. Other option is to find a used old Promark 310 or Vermeer 6XX, both seem a little under powered, old chuck and ducks are out there, but they have a lot of repair and maintenance in my price range.

So I had never heard of Valby before and I just went to do a little research. Didn't find a lot of info. They look pretty good, but no pricing listed, and I wonder where they are made?

@@vclubamp made in Finland.

I like the little one that Simeon over on the Swedish Homstead uses with his little kiote tractor. I notice he has to tie off his pto lever to keep it from jumping out of gear, but it pulls okay. It's made in Poland, but I can't tell the brand. I would like to have an 8" machine just like it; his is a 6"

Blew the rear valve seat on original engine. Needed a quick replacement so went with Honda replacement.

I blew the rear valve seat on the original Onan. Repowered with the Honda.

Thanks for the comment. I assume that you watched the full video? The instructions were lacking and Curtis technical department could not help with better illustrations. Since I bought the mirrors online, I'm not sure who I might have hired to install them with adequate knowledge. Also, I generally don't pay to have work done that I can do myself, or figure out how to do myself.

ABCABC: really. You think your response is worth the time it took you to type it. Larry: I very much appreciate you taking the time to make this video as I am currently attempting to figure out the best mounting approach for mirrors on my Curtis cab. My tractor is small and so the allowance on the cab for mounting points is lacking. You’ve given me some clarity as to how the brackets mount and their dimensions. as you have pointed out the instructions are weak at best

Yes, I always run the tractor at full throttle. That's the procedure for hydrostatic transmissions.

Yes, I always run full throttle with a hydrostatic transmission.

Hi Larry, I have a 520 with a tired Onan. Did you buy the Honda from a repower specialist or do the conversion yourself?

email me - calla@fairpoint.net

It was from a repower outfit - Small Engine Warehouse. They don't sell the Hondas any more. Only Briggs. You need bearings on both ends of the crankshaft. Honda only has one.

@@larryjewett6990hey Larry how many hours did you have on onan mine only has 318
