    cutter wheel alignment on a carlton 5014 stump grinder

    Hey Joe, couldn't get a clear picture of the grinder tooth sharpener. But you can look it up on you tube. It's the AL-65-V. There is one on there somewhere for the razor wheel teeth or maybe the sandvik wheel. The only difference in the videos of the others is the grinding wheel is specific for...

    cutter wheel alignment on a carlton 5014 stump grinder

    Hey Dave, finally getting the time to try and adjust where the cutting wheel sits on the shaft, too close on one side, maybe 1/16' away from the guard. I do think the problem is the hub. One of the 3 bolts that tighten it in has broken off. But it is still stable and holding the wheel right...

    cutter wheel alignment on a carlton 5014 stump grinder

    Dave mentioned that the hydro fluid I had stored in my shed may have had condensation in it because it was exposed to weather. Well I went to a truck repair place and was looking for MIB hydraulic additive to see if it would take care of it. They didn't have anything like that so being as...

    cutter wheel alignment on a carlton 5014 stump grinder

    It was in my unheated shed for a couple of years after I used a portion, so that could very well be the case. Don't do any big jobs anymore, but I can manage a few small ones and leave it running between them to heat it up.

    cutter wheel alignment on a carlton 5014 stump grinder

    Hi Dave, thanks for the info. Although I don't get the denatured alcohol thing, I"d much rather try that than drain the fluid. Not sure what would cause the fluid to cloud up and was afraid to run it like that. Maybe the fluid spoiled, although seems unlikely, when it was in storage. It was...

    cutter wheel alignment on a carlton 5014 stump grinder

    Thanks Dave. I have a spare set of bearings. I got a set to change the top bearings but they didn't need it so I kept the bearings. I just smoke the belt on the motor side and it broke a hydraulic line on the way out. So I changed that line and put on a new belt. Had to take the Hydraulic motor...

    cutter wheel alignment on a carlton 5014 stump grinder

    If you are changing the shaft also, when changing the bearings. It's a little laborious because you have to take off the belts the pulley's, and everything else. But if you can cut the shaft or cut off the bearings without damaging the shaft, not so bad. There is probably an easy way to free up...

    cutter wheel alignment on a carlton 5014 stump grinder

    I normally push about 20 or 25 pumps. On one of the bearings that seem a bit noisier than the others, I put in enough to see it just start to ooze out. Mine doesn't cut a smoothly as it should and get very noisy when I get to ground level and increases the deeper I go. Brand new teeth smooth it...

    cutter wheel alignment on a carlton 5014 stump grinder

    Good morning Franklin, thank you for looking at the wheel and getting back to me. I thought that was the case but I wasn't sure. Where the wheel is aligned on the shaft is apparently determined by where the hub is set. I guess it has been like this for some time and has been stable. I will take...

    cutter wheel alignment on a carlton 5014 stump grinder

    Hey Dave, hope you are well. I was going to try just that. But I figured I would have to remove the bearing. The last bearing I trued to remove wouldn't budge and had to cut the shaft to replace the whole thing. When I was looking at the hub, I noticed one of the bolts must have broken off in...

    cutter wheel alignment on a carlton 5014 stump grinder

    I have a carlton 5014 stump grinder. It has never cut very smoothly and I'm trying to smooth it out a bit. The outer cutting teeth on the left side is only about 1/8 inch from the guard and the right side is about 5/8 in from the guard. It seems to spin evenly and smoothly when not under a load...

    sharpening wheel

    Hey brother, checked out their web site and found two 4.5" HD11 grinding wheels. One is the endless cutting and grinding wheel ($169.95) and the other is the 4.5 flange endless flush grinding and cutting wheel ($199.95) Both has hard metal listed in its recommendations but I don"t see anything...

    sharpening wheel

    Let me know what your invoice says. If it is around $110, let me know exactly what wheel you use. Mine is for my 4.5 angle grinder also. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. I did change my lower bearings on my cutting wheel and had a hard time re-aligning them, but when I got both sides...

    sharpening wheel

    I think I found the right place but it is Bad Dog tools, in R.I. They have a bunch of grinding wheels on their web page, but the one that fits the angle grinder is about $200 and up.

    sharpening wheel

    Thanks Grinder 52. I have a sharpening system for the teeth, but it requires you remove the teeth. I like to touch up the edge of the teeth more often. Makes grinding much more pleasant. Tried using the grinding wheel exclusively, but it is hard to keep the proper angle of the tooth shaft and it...

    sharpening wheel

    Anyone know where I can get a diamond coated grinding wheel for an angle grinder to sharpen carbide teeth on a stump grinder? I had been getting them from New River corp. but they have been unavailable since the covid thing started.

    cutter wheel Bearing

    Hey Dave, sent you an email yesterday. Trying to see if you have the lower bearings for the carlton SP5014. I noticed you had several carlton models listed but the SP5014 was not listed. The bearing finally went and I'm going to replace them. I think that either the bearings or the jack shaft...

    sharpening wheel

    The teeth have a 1/2 " flat surface on the outside that when ground flat, forms a cutting edge from the angle it grinds the wood. Nothing fancy. You grind off the edge that gets a bit rounded when it dulls. Takes less than a minute per tooth. Been doing it this way for years. It extends the life...
