Golden oldy ya got there. Ive worked on heaps of these/ this style, theyre all fairly frustratingly shite as are. You need to.. Mount a decent bit of plate to act like a anvil for the side chip blade to cut against, like a forage harvester. Make spacers to hold the drum at a nice gap from new anvil, Buy spare bearings as they eat them due to side loadings. The blocking is due to the combing action of the straight swinging blades, not making bits short, if the blades are removable, weld a piece on to make them a T to cut the lengths shorter to go thru the grate better, the shredder blades want to be almost notched to rip n drag more than cut, weigh the blades and make them match, if your keen balance the drum, it makes hell of an improvement!! I used to have two pointy bolts thru some angle id clamp to the bench. At risk of stating the obvs, they use a blue/kevlar/slip belt and i think the 2 bolt plate (1:07ish) on the crankcase is a oil filter but memory maybe wrong..
re leak on carb, if you put some wet/dry on a flat surface [i used a piece of plate glass], then rub down the float bowl until it is flat again, used to straighten my zephyr V6 carb baseplates like that, kept air leaks away keep it up young lady
Great video Kim. When the weather is better, you might consider taking the cutter head out and sharpening all the knives. And, by then, everything will have dried out enough to really test it out. All the best Kim. Cheers from the USA😁👍🇺🇸
You were right about the motor- it is the most important because if it doesn’t work then it doesn’t matter how good the other components are - love your vids we just need more of them !!
Great job. I like how sometimes the easiest fix it whack it with a hammer lol. I have done that. I got one for 25 usd and it came with that guard on the out feed but it was laying on top. Glad I now know it is for. I plan on replacing all the bearings, seals, bolts and a new paint job. FYI rotted stuff tends to dule the blades quicker for some reason.
Today I fiddled with my piaggio scooter variomatic and Oilpump...now I am watching wrenching Videos on youtube..what is wrong with me??😂😂😂nice Video. Briggs&Stratton ...ya cant go wrong with them😎! I don't think I have even to say it, but here it comes :Whenever you work on a mower,chipper or else with blades: remove the plug(s) before working on them! self ignition is rare..but it DOES happen once in a while;-) The most important tool you will ever have ,are your Fingers😬😬😬 Good stuff girl! Keep them Coming😁
I have a PTO powered flywheel chipper that I use a lot. They basically need sharp knives and lots of power to work well. It helps to adjust the chip breaker close to the knives to avoid to heavy a cut. My neighbour uses your type of chipper. It clogs up easily because its not got enough power. Wet leaves gum it up. Chipping is tricky business. Wet timber chips easily. Dry timber blunts the blades quickly. You have to work the machine within its limits or it will choke up. My chipper will chip branches up to three inches in diameter but it takes 17 hp to do it ! It's an ugly vicious beast of a thing, watch out for your finger's.
l have that same chipper/shredder just not I/C but it has the 8hp engine. I bought it brand new. It does a great job. Just not good for wet things. the free swinging serrated blades can be turned around to use the other side before they have to be replaced. The chipper blades can easily be serviced by removing the screen to sharpen or replace them. The clearance between the knives and the body is crucial. I have replaced the bearings with ones that have grease fittings. I use the chipper part for small branches { 1 3/4 inches or less} dry corn stalks and sunflower stalks. the shredder for the smaller things. I have run it without the screen { not recommended by the manufacturer} for wet things so it would not clog. I hope this information helps. Got to your channel through watching you on Diesel Creek.
That’s a lesson you learn the hard way when you check for spark, it’s even more fun in an old saw like the stihl 056 and your leaning on it in a cut and the boots worn out and shocks you right in the stomach 😂 I also love those John Deere coveralls. I don’t have much experience with those smaller chippers but seems to run decent and I feel you on the files getting corrupted😂 but great job as always Kim
I always wanted to see the insides of one of them. Nice job getting the motor running again. You might want to also try to give her blades and chute a spray of silicone to keep any sap from sticking to the blades and definitely get a new belt. Looking forward to seeing it make mulch. Have a Great Day.
That was on high rev! My mower did the same thing, I thought it was going to throw a rod before I settled the carburetor down too. I actually did have one that threw a rod, it was low on oil and I forgot to check it. Expensive lesson learned. 😬 Thanks for sharing Kim! I have no doubt this chipper will be fixed 👍Great job!
The chipper side will run like crap if the blades aren't sharp, I'm glad you realised the bigger branches (and old bits of wood without nails) goes in the side chute and the smaller stuff like leaves goes in the hopper on top, I'm also glad you realised that the blades in the shredder should be able to swing free just like a flail mower but why it's not ejecting I'm not sure, maybe try it without the heavy guard with holes in but I'm sure you'll get your head around it.
It’s a common issue on those carbs for the top cover to become warped due to over tightening the screws. Then it’s hard to get a good seal. Occasionally you need to double up the gaskets, some people have carefully filed down the screw location on the bottom side to flatten out the sealing surface.
Good video Kim 👍 we hired out that model of chipper to the DIY market a while ago the first 2 had that 8hp Briggs engine then they went on to the 12hp Honda 💪💪 dont ever recall having problems with not throwing the chippings out but wondered if it had anything to do with the gap between the screen and the drum 🤔 Send It 😁👌
Hi Kim, nice hat. Are those sheep? Good video, those things always scare me. They're food for grinding small batches of feed for livestock though. Thank you. Best regards from Indiana, USA.
the skill and bravery to pull these machines apart, knowing you have the knowledge to fix them always astonishes me. Also wonderful to see the inner workings of a chipper.
Thank you Kim for another entertaining video. Always interesting watching you diagnose problems systermatically. As just an observer I wonder a couple of things. 1st ; the guard where the waiste comes out, just looks a little restrictive and wonder if that guard is original? 2nd ; The engine seems in good repair but am wondering if the working revolutions are up to speck? Anyhow I am just showing interest and never dictating. Good to see you and keep the videos coming.

Wow Kim your attention to detail is incredible! I wish I’d got the patience like you have, one thing where did you get the air filter from please. Fenland Rob
By heck it’s been a while since I’ve seen one of those. Always wanted one but ended up using road otw chippers and never looked back 😆. You’ll probably need to sharpen the knives in it so it makes smaller chip which should come through the grill easier. Just have a look and see if there’s a sharpening angle, it can make all the difference if there’s an incorrect angle on them 😊
Check carb is flush with fine paper on heavy sheet of glass. That is how racing heads were trued many years ago! When holding spark plug for test hold the body. That id Zero or earth or ground whatever you want to call it so you are not in the circuit! You can stop an ignition engine by putting your fingers on the plugs but make sure your bare arm is rested on the chassis. Yes it take some believing but it was a right of passage donkeys years ago!

That was my plan. It’s a great and simple method

Oil leaks are a built-in rust prevention mechanism.

Thanks for the info. I did wonder about that for wet things. When it’s a bit nicer weather I’ll try again.

It's always a good day when there is a new Calamity Kim video.
It's nice to see a neglected piece of equipment made useful again with a little time and effort.
That little engine sounds sweet Kimberly. 👌Imagine how much one of those are new😮 You can get some real bargains up those Auctions.
I always wanted to see the insides of one of them. Nice job getting the motor running again.

Excellent video , Nice little chipper , you fixed it. Good to see old kit repaired and put back into use. All the best Kim .
im getting a DR chipper attachment for my 14.5 or 16.5hp dr multi sidewalk machine
Good video Kim 👍 we hired out that model of chipper to the DIY market a while ago the first 2 had that 8hp Briggs engine then they went on to the 12hp Honda 💪💪 dont ever recall having problems with not throwing the chippings out but wondered if it had anything to do with the gap between the screen and the drum 🤔 Send It 😁👌
Hi Kim, nice hat. Are those sheep? Good video, those things always scare me. They're food for grinding small batches of feed for livestock though. Thank you.

Great job Kimberly, You will get it running like new yet💯👌👍🙏🙂
She is an old chipper.
An updraft carburetor.. ugh
Throw it out an upgrade.
Love your work!
If I was you I'd swop the 8hp briggs engine for the 12hp kohler engine on lord mucks wheel horse (he'd never know)
the skill and bravery to pull these machines apart, knowing you have the knowledge to fix them always astonishes me. Also wonderful to see the inner workings of a chipper.
You will get it sorted, mine doesn't like wet leaves, it clogs up..
Brilliant job Kim, a great repair . Just found your channel so I will watch the rest of your videos 👌👍👍
Hi and welcome Philip. 😁

Nice job, Kim
These jobs are always more fun when someone else has already been in to mend things worse 😂
Brilliant 👌👌 keep up the fantastic show
Ha, ha..you don't mess about . Good job.
I think you need a heavier chipper to get rid if nasty customers 😅😂
Had one of those years ago and they were painful to use😅 good effort tho in bringing it back into action 👍👍
The big chute is for shredding leaves and twigs, the small chute is for limb chipping.
Well done go the see the chipper up and running. Great video 👍 🔧 🚜

them chippers dont tend to blow it out they do get a beating unfortanatley but them engines prety much bullet proof nice work
It’s an absolute pleasure to watch your video
Thanks Ken 😁

Chipping wet stuff is pointless , and as i found out, so are electric mulchers lol, that however looks like it will be a decent piece of kit 👍👍👍
Hi Kim. Thanks for the video. 👍
Thank you for another great video. Stay safe out there. Cheers
8:20 hay mower blades them seem to be
Can't believe I flinched 9:53 😂🤣😂
Great work Kim, still a bargain. Just needs a bit more fettling.
Excellent video
The persuader The best tool in the toolbox
When I first saw the vid I thought it one of lord mocks cast offs but watched it and realised it wasnt 😂
Great job, most people would have sent it to scrap yard.
Another great video, I am fascinated by you 😘
Good job. Make sure you set the mixture on the carb or you will toast your valves..
Fixed jet buddy, all you can adjust is the idle air mixture,
I know you can fix this up 🙂 just the greatest channel and content creator👍♥️ and no, what you said did not sound stupid 😃
Enjoyed that thanks.
8:08 Will the blades turn round? It looks like they have two edges.
Yeah they do turn. Pain in the butt though
beautyfyull kim
I was gonna comment , but the way you smacked your camera made me give it another think. 🤣
🤣 I normally edit most of the camera accidents out! 😁
@@CalamityKim1 I'm glad you kept that one in , just think of it as a happy accident. 😁
do you do msintainence on your scannia??
Yes I do a lot of it.
I have the special octaganol socket to remove the drive hubs if you need it
No thing wrong with the ending it’s the way it worked out.
