Mystery stump grinder

[bicycleman]

Hey All,
I have recently obtained a used PTO stump grinder for my tractor. The thing works pretty well, although it is kind of an unconventional design. After quite a bit of use I have chipped some of the carbide teeth and would like to get some new ones as backups. However, I have no idea who makes this thing (the seller said he couldn't remember either). Two of the big pillow blocks say "Fafnir" on them, but I can't find a manufacturer. Has anyone seen one of these? If so, do you know what the make is? I suppose worse comes to I can have new teeth brazed onto the existing tooth blocks, but it would be nice to know. Thanks!

Awesome unit... wouldn't be a bad idea to attach a debris sheild.
