Sorry to leave you hanging things got a little crazy here. A set of knives would be 9 for a K-12 or 12 for a K-16. No idea what the numbering and lettering system this guy had was about, new one on me. Only thought there would be check and see if he had stamped numbers in to the drum for...

I have a Mitts & Merrill K-12 gas chipper. I've done lots of research and repairs on mine. If I can help you please contact me. By the way K-12 or K-16 refers to the drum width. The drum on these machines is made of multiple identical slabs of steel indexed to diferent positions. 3 cutters per...

Generac engines are used in Dixie Chopper mowers. The engines are very reliable.

I have a M&M K-12 1982 vintage. I've been to Karl Kumerling's shop in Ohio. Their nice helpful folks. I've purchased several items from them to keep my chipper operational. They stock most of the maintenance items for their units. Its the right stuff they know they built it. I have sourced items...

if it's worth doing... Sounds like you did it right. Quick fixes don't last. It probably cost more than you wanted but now you have a machine you can count on.

parts $ The governors I found NEW where only mid $300 range. Be informed don't get screwed by a greedy dealership.

governor parts Sounds like your off to a good start in your search. You know the manufacturer and model number. Do a search on that information like I just did and you'll find several companies that rebuild service and sell new governors. Cross reference with a search of the manufacturer of...

cap wiring If the wires are on the cap out of sequence it will back fire. Think of your distributor cap as a switch board and the operator has plugged you into the wrong number. It all works together. This happened to me on a old truck check it out. A good manual will help you understand how...

two different types of timing Turning the distributor changes ignition timing. How you install the cam affects valve Timing. You could literally spin the distributor and your values would not make contact with the pistons. I would say you have gunk on the valve stems acting like a brake. Since...

scrap yard scavenger We have some nice scrap yards around here and with the price of steel you might be surprised what you'll find in them. Small mig welder should handle box gauge metal make it your way. Bed line it paint it or just brush it down with used oil messy but it works. Just depends...

stuck valves Your valves might be stuck due to crud and rust not bent. If you choose to pull your head clean them on a wire wheel and the guide holes with a bore brush and solvent. Check your valve stems for run out with a dial indicator in a lathe chuck. Not saying it can't happen but bent...

gear jaming I would have to say worn gear face. I've driven many trucks like that. Mostly due to inexperienced drivers not knowing how to double clutch or down shift properly. Grinding the gears actually removes metal turning mating gears into cones that barely mesh so they pop out under load...

globs of grease Most heavy eguipment be it a chipper tractor what have you has grease zerks. People get used to pumping them until they see movement or feel pressure. The throw out bearing and clutch shaft don't take much grease some manuals only lube them annualy. I would say that glob is from...

just a thoght If somebody that didn't know what they where doing was in that motor you got your hands full. But here's something that nobody has touched on rocker arms. Is this engine mechanical or hydraulic? Improperly installed lifters or improperly adjusted rocker arms will bend push rods...

I've worked with several different configurations of towable lift. If it's not one of the self propelled units your limited to your backing skills and footprint of your vehicle. Don't get all hung up on speed. I'll take slow safe and comfortable over fast and bouncing anytime. A good bucket...

After closer examination of the new picture I see the shaft rolls in the housing there by moving the through out bearing forward to disengaging the clutch. Is there a adjuster on this mechanism? It seems to me that is where you should be looking. What I'm gathering from you is motor starts runs...

In your previous two pictures I see a rubber boot for a clutch fork like in a truck. That's where my unit has a leaver to engage the clutch. On the other side of yours is a tube or shaft what is that for? On my unit I hold the leaver back as I monitor the throttle by hand when everything...
