Hello! New here and have been trying my best to solve my issue via Google search and YouTube before I resorted to asking.
Let's start from the beginning. I bought this wood chipper used. It worked beautifully and I thought it was invincible. After several days of usage for several hours I took it up a notch and started double fisting this machine. I had it chipping branches and mulching leaves at the same time. Using both intake chutes. When suddenly the flail hammer stopped spinning. (I obviously didn't read the manual.)
Upon attempting repair, hoping it's just a woodruff key, I found the shaft sheared, the key melted, and flywheel chipped.
I was only able to find replacement part for the flywheel but not for the shaft.
Curious if anyone can shed some light. Is this no longer a diy repair? Can I cross reference the shaft? How do you remove the shaft?
I unbolted the bearings and they seem pretty tight. Before I go man handling it I figured I get some opinions before moving any further.
