That shaft been turned down a lot.

Why I ask about pulley size because you may be able swap them over and make a bearing and shaft to take large pulley and them run it at 540 pto

Frame and linkage built last night and tonight.

 

Anybody recon I should put a Brace from higher up the a frame onto the chipper body of the lip the bairing sits on for more strength?

I reckon it needs some sort of top strap to help with the length and leverage of the chipper. Removable so you can acess blades and flywheel

[woody paul]

Should be ok without as it was just bolted down like that when trailed version, as long as plate it is sitting on is thick enough.

[Johny Walker]

a strap on the bearing shelf just to be sure

Top tether and I would also fit some runners under the feet like a sledge, it will stop it digging into tarmac ,sinking in soft ground and ripping/bending the legs off if the tractors gives it a nudge. Just thoughts.
