Having a hell of a time finding parts for clutch/pto on my wood chipper anyone have any advise on where I could find parts for it or a used pto that would work thanks ,
Mike
 
Yeah I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle here trying to fix it because taking the chipper clutch off was a mfer and now that I got it apart and got new clutch plate I'm having no luck finding any parts for the over center pto assembly because the person I got it from.wore the clutch out basically as much as u could so my throw out bearing housing/seat thing is wolerd out and the part that that housing/seat slides on is broke off to the bearing cover if u know what I'm talking about has 3 bolts in it keeping it over bearing for shaft those are the two parts I need... I feel.like im gonna have to jus replace the whole pto assembly
 
The slider bearing is.bad and the part that slides over shaft that has three bolts bolted to bearing housing that I guess the slider bearing slides on.... can I post pics on here
 
Found the tag sumone painted over it so it blended in under there and it was barely attached so I jus took it off and soaked in gas and paint came off with Lil scraping thanks alot for the help I was beginning to think I had a major or deal but this should help a lot would u know what those parts are called in pic so I don't call and have to explain what it does cuz I hate doing that over the phone cuz it jus sounds like jiberish usually unless it's a mechanic ur talking to then they can decifer the code ur speaking haha
 
Any self respecting DIY that puts Diy mechanic in his screen name should have as a minimum a welder, stock of scrap steel, a metal lath, and a mill. ( I did see you are only 23 YO, so probably cannot afford those 'toys' yet? - get a welder first, then lathe, the mill can be later <G>)

Easy to make that part from scratch - weld up scrap till similar shape, then machine to fit.

Or, use arc welder an nickel rod and preheat the parts first. Cool with old R-11 insul batt thrown over it.
 
Yup a diy mechanic in the making lol but I do everything mechanically I can with what tools I do have so basically dmoiy (do most of it yourself) guy haha but I got ahold of ppl and the guy lead me to a Web page and showed me where to go and had me point out the parts I needed on a picture they had on their site Foley engines.com

So they hook you up ? I found them just in case mine ever needs parts!
 
Yeah haha well if u have means to make it do it cuz those parts in pic cost me 901 whipper snappers from Foley engines but they were exellent help .... but they should offer veterans discount cuz they hit the wallet hard there I was thinking maybe they jus wanted arm or leg but they took the left nut haha
