I don't know if the blades were much good before but the dirt on the roots did not do them any good. I would imagine the blades and anvil need replaced not requiring as much H.P. It needs wound up to function properly. That is why it wasn't discharging. Thanks for the videos.
I have this same chipper with a 4 cylinder gas burner on it. It would do a superb job , but would sometimes bog down on big thick sawmill slabs. The last time we used it the oil pan sprung a leak , and it locked down. At some point I need to put another engine on it. Also jerking yours into drive isn't good on the belts or the clutch.
I think I'll eventually need to rebuild this engine too. It does alright, but bogs down pretty often. I think it's a mixture of engine performance loss and governor issues. I did actually figure out the clutch drive and do slip it into gear slowly now!
It needs a few things, it's not running on all 8, the governor is a little slow to respond, and the cooling system isn't quite good enough to run max rpm for long
with it haveing a v8 motor in it you should be around 2800-3200 rpms 3500 max or you'll burn threw belts and the motor will run much hoter and that's not good. also you engage the clutch slowly at little above idel speed or your going to blow the clutch at some point or blow the Tranny and them types are not cheap or easy to find much anymore without upgrading to new high-end types and there even more expensive beleave me I know I work on them
I have 2 of theese chippers these blades are best off sharpend by professionals so they stay straight and perfectly balanced call a print shop and ask who sharpens there blades. If not I ordered all new knives for mine for 200$ looks like ur cutter bar/anvil needs adjusted up a hare. When you take the knives out heat will be ur best friend
Blades aren’t too hard to sharpen, I have 2 sets so I can have one sharpened . The distance to anvil is about a playing card. You’re missing g the air tube that hooks to shroud on drivers side of drum bearing . There’s a fan in there that forces air into chute to aid discharge. I can take pictures of mine. Nice work!
Wood chippy for the win!!!
How much wood could wood chippy chip?

I'm sure the blades and anvil could have used some adjustments as well. I didn't think about the dirt balls though, guess it make sense though

Nice work. House looking like it's coming along too.
Thanks! The house is becoming more of a reality everyday!

Sounds like needs turned up max rpm

Blades need to sharpened by professionals/Balanced
did you have to adjust or sharpen the blades? I’m having the worst time finding someone that can?
@@CCECAdmin I probably should have, but I didn't.
Should be at like 4000 rpm
I'm not sure what I got it up to, but it was humming pretty good. Almost seemed like it was going to fly apart lol

Did you sharpen the chipper blade blades?
I did not. They definitely could use it though, especially after what I put it through!
@@StateFun Would make a good video showing how you removed, and sharpened. Wonder if you can find replacement blades?
@@charlescoker7752 that would be good, I'm not sure I'm confident enough to remove and readjust without messing it up and causing issues

Nice work!
I would not run that type of woodchipper for a million a year. That is called a chuck and duck chipper and their terrifing.
Pull that clutch down slowly 😢
Will do!
Don’t slam the clutch that hard
