Yard Machine 5.5hp Chipper Shredder Trouble Shooting Revival

[@burtreynolds3143]

I have one under the porch. I broke the pull cord and haven't used it in 3~4 years since. It used to shred stuff so fine you almost didn't even see the chips after because it blew them so far. the leaf end drops down and it does a great job on those. Pulverizes them to powder. You've inspired me to maybe do something about that thing. I am sure the bowl and jet it fowled up.

I got a smaller Tecumseh chipper vac push mower looking thing that turned out don't really need to use anymore and never did really use much. Decided to dedicate the one rider for mulching solely and can with the others if needed. The branches I wound up and wind up using for wattle to build up mulch pits retaining so can just heave stuff into that. Neat to see the similar flora, albeit no ash noted. I'm trying to bring back birch since none native I've found around anymore. Use to be white birch and they all went by by for some reason. Ash had some issues and for now is going strong so been spreading those saplings around as they pop up. Been adding Walnut everywhere and Chestnut and Hazelnut where dryer as well. Cedars and spruce for the conifers at least for now. I second the sharpening vid. Will be good stuff.

Where can I buy the carburetor for this device?

[@Lawnmowerman02346]

The next thing you need to do to it is sharpen and adjust the cutter knife so it will cut a match book . I'm not sure what the angle is , I think about 42 degrees .Once that's done it will become self feeding and that sapling you cut would be like butter . Green fresh cut always chips easier because the moisture makes the wood , soft you might even be able to cut Honey Suckle ( it might re root )

[@redneckcomputergeek]

That is a good point to think on. Might do a follow up make it cut better video. Thank you I never thought about that.

[@Lawnmowerman02346]

@@mikespain8655 You only sharpen the chipper knife behind the shoot and behind the great that was removed and sometimes lost . Just make sure the flails all move all the way around so they can bounce off brush that's a little too heavy .

How do u sharpen the blade? Does lowes do that ?

[@buckhunter913]

I have the same one, could you post some pics of the carb linkage i think im missing a few pieces

[@heidifoster6755]

I have one of these i got off of someone used. It runs but it doesnt really cut or pull the material in. Help!

The Blades Could Do With A Sharpen , I Think

[@Mr_Tecumseh]

That recoil is serviceable. That's a roll pin in the center you drive out. That specific line of Tecumseh 5-7hp 195cc sucks. They have an inherent issues of leaking oil out the governor shaft bushing. Poor design, shape of block. Slinger tosses the oil directly at the bushing to the outside of the block.

Just got one of these at the junk yard. $25. Mint. Just needed a new coil.

[@LaneProductions327]

You should make a mudmower out of one of the John Deere garden tractors but keep the oringinal paint

[@liljoeii6091]

Thank you for the video

[@jakegorman7121]

It's a gas engine so how is it going to run away like a diesel?

[@redneckcomputergeek]

If they lean out they tend to over rev. We see it on snow blowers always the same story.

I have a craftsman limb chipper leaf shredder with a Briggs and Stratton 5 h.p.engine

[@PugFaceMusic]

You need to put your arm in a little farther. Kidding. Great video.

[@M70ACARRY]

First thing I look for is crack blades and crank wheel.

[@spudstudios3342]

cool

[@surroundedbyjaggoffs]

Or get a 6.5 hp predator engine for under $200. !!!

[@easternfrontnh]

So I just scored one of these off my neighbor who used it twice and put it in the shed hasn't touched it in 15 years and the mice got to it and whatever he had in it was still in it and I did the same thing you did tried to pull it over He said it wouldn't pull over I got it to spin over and it puked stuff everywhere I laughed annoying that the engines good and this thing's brand new use twice spark plugs beautiful air filter okay I'm going to take it apart tonight and clean it up and try it out first thing in the morning

[@SomoneTookMyName]

Dude. I have a Harbor Freight 2.2 HP chipper shredder that would eat that stuff much faster.
