Chipper flywheel bearings

[JaySmith]

Tom D has a tracked one that tried to eat it's self. Redwood will sort under warranty.

 

Hopefully called them twice since it happened early this afternoon and left messages with the promise of a call back but nothing yet

Only 119

 

 

Hell not good! Let's hope they sort it fast!

Hope so, this is our lesser used machine as well. flywheel is sideways, anvil is damaged, the shoot is damaged and the knives are smashed to pieces. Luckily the chip box was full of chip or I think the pieces would have gone through the box!

What failed first? A blade which then did the damage or a duff bearing let go and the rest is coincidental?

Beaver Plant had some that threw the knives out the side although I don't know the details of why.

Not sure Pete if I'm honest, part of which looks like the anvil has come away and the blue bearing housing was found in front of the truck. If I was a betting man I would say that the piece of the metal near the anvil let go, smashed into the bearing housing and took that and the knives out. No a blade that did the damage as there is no sign of cracks and they are both still on their mounts. I'll put some pics up later on as I must admit I'm no expert when it comes to things like this.
