Timberwolf 150 part sheared off

[WilliamjFoster]

I have a timberwolf 150, I noticed this part ( I have attached photos) whilst finishing up some chipping. Could anyone point me in the right direction as to what it is and where it's came from? The machine is still working aside from a bit of extra noise. Many thanks Will

It looks a bit like one of the parts that is behind the plastic cover of the emergency stop bar. Remove the cover and see if anything has sheared. Is the stop bar working ok?

Not 100% sure though!

Behind this black plastic cover. Got photo of internet!

Looks to me like a sheered off section of the rotor shaft , the bit towards the back of the machine. You need to stop using it before somebody gets hurt.

That’s exactly what it is😳. Looks like it’s had the bearings spinning for some time and would have been making a lot of noise? That’s why you haven’t noticed much more noise now it’s let go?

Definitely looks like the rear stub shaft from the flywheel. Do not use it!
