Huskvarna hotellgäst had it right. The plastic "nut", which appears to be nylon, is unthreaded. You have to force it over the adjuster screw's threads until it sits in a groove just under the screw's head. I screwed the screw into the plastic nut, the screw kind of cutting its own threads...

Thanks, but not the same. The 55 has the tensioner mounted on the case, not the cover, and does not have the right angle drive mechanism.

Hi Folks, You guys helped me fix my 55 Rancher in the past, so now that I need help here I am again. Here are the specifics: Model: Husqvarna 55 Rancher Code on tag top line: 967 05 29.00 Code on tag bottom line: 02 2301618 The saw still runs great. The issue this time is that the bar chain...

If I had been able to find a Chinese knock-off carb for our GX690 I'd have bought it, but there are a lot of carburetor variations for the Honda GX630/660/690 twins, and none of the the knock off carbs I found were considered a replacement. A new carb from Honda was $200-ish, so I am cleaning...

Any Honda engine experts here? More on that in a moment. We bought a "Parts Only" Altec DC610 chipper at the auction. It was parts only because the auction house couldn't start the engine, but one fuse later the engine starts just fine. That being said, there are things that needed fixing...

That's a good thought, but we would not likely be able to get a commercial machine to where the stuff that needs chipping. So we are looking at either a small trailer mounted chipper, or a PTO chipper. We did a pre-auction inspection of the 11 Altec DC610 chippers. a. There was one Vermeer...

Anyone know anything about the Altec DC610? Performance, reliability and parts availability? (I know it's a 22 hp Honda gas motor driven chipper, but that should meet our needs.) While I was waiting to pull the trigger on a Woodmaxx a number of these showed up at a local auction. I just...

Hi RyeThomas and others, There is no question that Victory could save us a lot of money. As of this date their model WC8H is only $2145 shipped, a full $654 cheaper than the Woodmaxx price of $2799 shipped for their WM-8H. But if I were to order today the Victory is not in stock. If it were...

I do not think that we will find a suitable used PTO chipper, but we will wait and watch a while longer. My guess is that this will come down to a Woodmaxx vs Woodland Mills debate. The Woodmaxx WM-8H has in it's favor: 1. A heavier 200 pound flywheel that spins at 1120 rpm. 2. Two 6 inch...

I need to check this thread more often. Thanks for the lead milton dave, but we missed these. Craigslist has a few PTO chippers of some interest, but all seem to be on the wrong half of the country. There appear to be a few clones of the Woodmaxx WM-8H out there: 1. I found an Oxxn copy of...

Sadly the only Victory chipper our tractor has enough power (27 PTO HP) to run is the Victory BX42S, which is a gravity fed chipper. We really want hydraulic feed. It appears to be a copy of the discontinued Wallenstein BX42S.

Looks like Wallenstein makes a nice chipper, and the BX52R and BX52RI are sized right for our tractor. The RI version is of particular interest becuase it is an autofeed unit. But unless I can find a used BX52R or BX52RI, for my application the Woodmaxx WM-8H or Woodland Mills WC68 is a better...

Well, our plans have changed... We now own a Kubota L3410 4WD tractor with about 27 HP at the PTO. So now we're looking for a PTO chipper. First choice would be a good used Bandit, Morbark, or Vermeer PTO chipper that 27 HP would be enough for, but something like the WoodMaxx WM-8H is a more...

BUMP So that eBay Morbark 2070 Twister was relisted on Ebay, so we gave the seller an call to see if we could make the four hour round trip to check it out. It was a beautiful, sunny day to go for a long drive in the convertible, but I am so glad we didn't bid on that chipper. The seller...

After walking among the debris left behind after the logging, doing a lot of reading, and giving things more thought, I think I have a better idea of what we can use. 1. I will need to pull whatever chipper we buy into the woods behind a 4x4 vehicle, perhaps a 1/2 ton pickup, ATV or utility...

Well, I didn't buy that Morbark 2070 Twister. It was an eBay auction that ended last night, but even though it was only a 2 hours drive away I didn't have enough time to check it out in person. The seller didn't know much about it when I called them. But there was a video, and in the video it...

I like the idea of a PTO unit, but we have no tractor. The two units dennis066 linked to seemed to have narrow chutes. Locally there's a Morbark 2070 Twister (not a 2070X or 2070XL) with what appears to be a Wisconsin V4 engine. Only pics so far, can't talk to the seller until tomorrow, and...

Several neighbors have had their 5 to 10 acre lots logged. The next door guy is into his second year chipping his logging debris with a 16 hp DR, but to be fair, it's maybe 1 day of cleanup every 2 weeks or so. Also, in this township the fire marshal will pay you a visit if you burn brush, as...

I did days of chipping with a box store chipper when I removed a stand of bamboo on my old property. Not a fun job, and that cheapo chipper did beat me up. I do believe a real chipper might be fun for a couple of hours, but the "fun" will turn into work far too soon. We were thinking of a...

Hi folks. We have an 8 acre wooded residential property that was just logged. About 200 trees were taken, mostly poplar with a few oak, birch, and hickory. The loggers, as expected, just left the tops for us to clean up. Way in the back we don't care so much about the mess, but near the...
