Not as cheap as I was hoping for but old chippers seem to hold there value.

Old entec diesel,  

Had the hopper off flipped the anvils and tickled the rollers.

Hour meter is fecked but the engine runs like a peach without a hint of smoke so that is a bonus.

Will get me out of a hole and hopefully in time I will be able to buy a newer  (2000-2010) machine that is more of a keeper.

all sorted for the cheap and decrepid chipper. Its a pup, the wheel came off on the way home- the sign of a solid machine I have heard 

Had to tow it the last 4 miles on the hub, with out the wheel, at tick over in 1st because the threads had stripped out of the drum. Took quite a while.

I drove a yacht from Basingstoke to Suffolk a few years ago. It was fine until about three miles from home, where a wheel bearing started screaming. Limped it without the wheel falling off, just. Lucky.
