video below .... I have another in slow mooooo
My 1st chipper . Been waiting for this particular turd . Ford 300-6 not to rusted out . Im in hawaii and chippers are golden here . Twice the cost sometimes as shipping prices are heavy. $6k for this one
Anyways this guy sells me it after refurbishing it .......cosmetically . Runs sweet for sitting for 10 years . After an hour of chipping i noticed more vibration than at 1st . Second hour i shut off and added 10 pumps of grease to each carrier bearing on the drum ...... then an entire tube . I put 5 pumps each side that morning . Than i put another 1/2 tube when i reached home until grease was seen as it turned low RPM .
I removed the fan shroud as to watch the flywheel spin. It seems as though its wobbling left and right not so much up and down.
Id die if i replaced the bearings to find out the shafts not true . Do i set up some V-blocks and a dial indicator ? Am i tripping because theyre bullet prrof ?
How do i pull the pulley off the end of the shafts ?
